The Spaniard takes stock of the Prancing Horse in Melbourne: “If we’re 2 tenths down in qualifying and 8 in the race, something’s wrong. But we have the data and we’re clear on the direction to take. At the moment, however, Red Bull is stronger in everything”
Carlos Sainz Jr did not mince words to describe how difficult the situation of Ferrari compared to Red Bull. These were the first words of the Spaniard on the eve of the first rounds of the Australian GP: “Unfortunately we’re not where we want to – said the Spaniard – we suffer above all in terms of race pace. We’re working on this, it’s not something that can be resolved in one or two races, but we have a work plan to solve the problem as soon as possible At the moment we manage to maximize the package in qualifying, but not in the race, there is something wrong if you are 2 tenths in qualifying and 8 in the race With the updates that we will bring, we want to improve because we are not where we would like. The SF-23? It’s not an easy car to drive, it’s a bit unpredictable. But the positive aspect is that we know where to improve”.
