Pecco Bagnaia finished the British GP sprint in 17th after qualifying 16th, and said he was struggling badly with rear grip. "I have no grip at the rear and no corner speed, so I have to rely on braking," he said, adding he expects Sunday's race to look much the same.
Qualifying 16th and finishing 17th means he couldn't push from corner entry to exit even if he wanted to. The rear must have been sliding so much he couldn't feel the throttle through his fingertips anymore. From what I've seen trackside, this isn't the kind of setup problem you fix overnight.

What actually happens when you have no rear grip?
Means the back end's sliding and he can't hook up drive.
Rare to see a champion sink this far.
Sounds like they're lost in setup land.
16th to 17th, basically just held position.
Bagnaia's been lost all season at this point.
Feels like Ducati's development has hit a wall.
