Sainz hopes Ferrari’s improvements will benefit his adaptation

He wants to win. He wanted it with all his might. It doesn’t change anything that he’s at home GP, in front of his fans. I want it the same in the first race of the year as in this sixth round of the championship. But he knows that in front of his public, his first success in Formula 1 could be even more special. He dreams of covering him on Sunday, but first, Carlos Sanz prefers step-by-step. Ferrari came with the first package of evolutions. In Italy, it is said that these enhancements can give Italians approximately 3 or 4 tenths, and with them, beat a Red Bull that can continue to lose a few kilograms of extra weight where the its car the campaign. Red Bull has grown in the last two appointments due to its evolution and this Friday those from Maranello and those from Milton Keynes will once again measure their strength on the first day of free training for the Spanish GP, although the clear answers will not be available until you qualify on Saturday.

With that ‘worthiness’, Carlos wanted to be first, knowing that in some races where he wasn’t comfortable, he brushed the pole, like in Miami. Also, as he assured MD, knowing that the Circuit was the best layout for him to take steps forward in his adaptation to an F1-75 was still not to his liking. He believes the new package can benefit him and he looks forward to that first success. He will fight to reach it this Sunday in Barcelona, ​​where he is clear he will still have the freedom to fight his partner Charles Leclerc, current World Cup leader. In Barecelona, ​​as happened with the 2021 Ferrari, it could start to come back. This has happened to him at Renault, or in his two years at McLaren. Or getting his best results with Toro Rosso on the Circuit. He’s always good at it. Her fetish layout. Why not dream? Carlos, as he said at a press conference, is going for it.

THE NEW PACK

“It all depends. I won’t say what we bring and the amount of lap time it can give us, because that matters to the team. But you can bring 3 tenths, which if others bring 3 tenths you are in the same place. So, you need to have a little patience, to see what happens tomorrow. And then, what also happens is there are chances that you’re bringing an improvement and you can continue to improve it based on understanding it in careers. This is not just what will take you to the first Free Practice, but how you understand it and how you can improve it for other careers ”.

IT CAN BENEFIT YOU

“My first impression was yes (is the new package could be used). But as long as I don’t feel like it and I don’t try, I don’t know how to tell you. All I know is it’s going in the right direction what what I need or what I think I need. But I’m still wrong … In theory yes, but until the proof is not going to be known “.

KEY CIRCUIT FOR GOOD

“This is one of those circuits where last year I started running very fast in the 2021 car. I remember I made a mistake in qualifying, because if I didn’t make an easy fourth. I look at the data and I know why I’m in a hurry and I know what it feels like to drive a car at super speed.I’m going to try to find the same feeling in this car here.And then there are also things I’m trying to change in my driving style that I know don’t work in this car, things I have to forget to do, automatisms that I try to cancel, in your software, in your brain, what you normally do, and that can give you an advantage in this car. It’s not an easy process, it’s a process I’m trying to do and it might be a good circuit to try it out because I know it hard and I know what I need to know. change to this car to go fast “.

START COMEBACK

“You can start. Yes and no. Madrid took 5 minutes. I have 17 races ahead of me. Let’s not forget that there is still a long way to go. Zero I think they will have it all. I need to focus on not to have more because I already have two (abandonments) in a row, which makes you look very low on having them in a row.But I think everyone will have zeros (throughout the year) and you have to understand the car first, and when you understand it, win, that’s the goal ”.

A CAR IS AWARE OF L

“You can imagine what you’re doing on a lap, but when you push yourself to the limit on a qualifying lap, and do it 66 laps in the race, there comes a point where you go subconsciously, you go on autopilot.There I say that there are cars that are on your autopilot, instinctively, you say: ‘I’m perfect, the car does what I need.’ And there are other cars in your sports career that you ride in the car , do your automations and the car doesn’t like them and you have to adapt and change.This is something I have done well in the past, I have adapted well to all cars, but this car is presented to me as something more difficult than expected.In fact, I felt it in the tests here in Barcelona, ​​I started to notice it.And it is something that happens in a pilot’s career.Similar of in MotoGP, where s Some are fast on a bike and they are changing bikes and this shows that they are uncomfortable. It is part of the life of a racing driver, even in any field of motoring. You always have favorite cars and so on which are worth more to you ”.

THIS IS JUST WHAT’S LACKING IN THE TOP

“Nothing else is needed. The funny thing is… even though those things are like this, I’m fighting for pole positions. I’m ready for Bahrain, Miami, Jeddah … in Imola and Australia I’m running fast. I mean, not really. Pretty much, but what happens, it hurts a little bit, because it doesn’t allow you to get involved in the battle for victory, or get the first post … so, annoying. But this is what I worked hard for in these early careers and what I hope to find soon.

PRESSURE OR MOTIVATION AT HOME BEFORE EXCESSIVE EXPECTATIONS

“Motivate. Push, but in a positive way. In Barcelona I am always fast, I always achieve my best results and always have an audience that supports me. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it, but it’s always been good for me. I like to think it’s a good pressure and a motivation that in the past has always been very good for me and that I hope to take advantage of the weekend ”.

FULL OF STANDS

“For me, it’s fun. You can imagine how much I want it to be a great weekend, to give the fans a good time this weekend, and that’s what I’m preparing for and what I’m going to try to do. If not here, I will try again in Monaco, and if not, in Canada. This is how the world is going and on Sunday I will try. “

TEAM ROLE AT TEAM ORDERS

“I know the rules there and I know when there can start to be favoritism or team orders. But I know that in the sixth race, with 17 left, we’re on equal terms and we’re in a position where I think anything can happen.Therefore, I know what my options are and where the relationship of Charles (Leclerc), myself and Mattia (Binotto) will go, and that’s why why am I not worried.

RESULTS WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEKEND

“It will be very sensational. Miami… to arrive at the same time on Friday and go very slowly on Friday, losing time on the track and being close to the pole is a positive feeling. And my first stint there. I’m still looking for sensations, honestly. Then, in front of the fans, I hope they will be happy, that they will see me at least on the podium, that’s for sure, and go for that first victory, which is what I dreamed of since I was little.
