Carlos Sainz keep good memories of Canadian F1 GP. Last year, in Gilles Villeneuve Circuitthe Spanish driver signed a good second position behind Verstappen, not knowing that his most special moment would come in the next race: his first pole position and his first win at Silverstone. The Canadian is doing well here and he hopes to continue the good feelings he has with his driving, very comfortable in his car this year.a car that, however, does not allow him to push in the race.
Sainz came from 2nd in the Barcelona classification while his teammate Leclerc suffered a lotbut In the race, despite the new package of improvements, the Spaniard could not push due to the massive damage. that he still had his car.
“This is a circuit that I like. I’ve always done well here in the past because I like the feeling of going over the curbs, being close to the walls, a bit like Monaco, and I hope to have a better weekend. “Carlos commented in Canada before the start of free practice. However, on this course, things seem more complicated than last year for Sainz.
To understand the new concept and improve in Canada
Ferrari showed a new concept for them in Barcelona with its package of updates. But they have to study it. At the Circuit, a track where Ferrari was not very optimistic due to its design, things did not go well in the race. Now, in Canada, those in red hope to improve by understanding their new package.
“100% understood because we understood some things at the weekend, but in terms of performance, nothing new here what we expect is the package we brought to Barcelona to exploit it a little better and also the characteristics of the circuit to adapt a little.”commented Carlos. A better understanding of the new concept, achieving maximum performance, along with a better track for Ferrari like Canada, could be an improvement.
Despite this, Sainz does not believe it will be enough to fight Mercedes and Aston Martin in the race for the podiums. Red Bull are favorites to win, and according to Carlos, Mercedes and Aston Martin should be behind them, although he doubts the order. And from behind, Carlos warns of how powerful the Alpine is coming. “I think Alpine is about to join us. I think they are very close to joining that battle.”
“I think we have a bit of an advantage, but I think that between Aston and Mercedes things are very close. Normally Aston has an advantage. Let’s see if from Barcelona it will be Mercedes”concluded the statements published on ‘DAZN F1’.
