Carlos Sainz has started the 2023 F1 season with enthusiasm. The pre-season tests left a clear impression that the Red Bulls are starting early, with less wear and tear, but the Spanish driver is focused on the performance of his Ferrari SF23, a car that has improved compared to last year, with more reliable and strong. moor and where there should be a greater point in a straight line. In the tests, the greater degradation seen in his car was worrying and from that point he and his teammate Leclerc must start to continue improving the car from Friday’s free practice and throughout the course to fight head-to-head at Red Bull. But as Carlos recalled, it’s not just about energy drinks. Carlos made it clear that Mercedes must also fight for everything, starting from a better base than in 2022, and an Aston Martin that has already surprised the tests with Fernando Alonso at the wheel.
“I tell the ‘tifosi’ that we will give our best. We are more eager than them for Ferrari to do well. We are pushing to the maximum to achieve the goal of the World Cup,” the Spaniard said on Italian television that ‘Sky Sport’, committed to continuing to adapt the car this weekend to start his candidacy for the crown at a high level from the first date.
“You might like the car at the driving level, but then you have to compare it with others like Red Bull, which can go faster. We don’t know that yet. We know the strengths and weaknesses of the SF23 and that is important.” , he added, still in doubt as to the true position of his car compared to his rivals, something that will be known for the first time in Saturday’s qualifying, although we will have to wait to see how all the other cars perform different tracks to draw conclusions. more concrete.
“Red Bull, Aston Martin and Mercedes will be in the fight. Those three teams are the ones that have done the best in the tests,” he pointed out, sure that Fernando Alonso’s team should be in that front group at the beginning of the the course. He is clear about this for several reasons: “Mainly because since December everyone has heard rumors that Aston Martin will be faster this year. We all know that his numbers are very good in the wind tunnel, in the simulator…”.
“They, I think, are even struggling to hide the emotion of what they see in the tests,” he concluded about the green box.
