Sebastian Vettel says there is more to Ferrari's problems than simply an underperforming engine.
Team boss Mattia Binotto said last week that the Maranello-made power unit is up to 50 horsepower down on the Mercedes engine in 2020.
He said work on a completely new 2021 engine is looking "very promising".
Quadruple world champion Vettel, who is switching to Aston Martin next year after being dumped by Ferrari, is quoted by Globo: "In terms of engine power, yes we lost some performance compared to last year. Regarding the car, we took a small step forward this year. Last season, our car was very efficient - we had a lot of downforce without a lot of drag.
"This year we have more downforce but also more drag - and that is a big problem."
