“What a season of ups and downs. But how beautiful the ups are,” said Leclerc on the radio after his victory in Italydefining the course of madness that lives Ferrari.
Charles dominates in a superior car on the streets of Monacobut since then, Ferrari has seen how McLaren and mercedes They overtook him in a battle with Verstappen’s Red Bull who suffered a major drop. But since Monza, things may have changed again.
Ferrari knows it has a series of routes that fit it like a glove. One is Monaco, because of how well its car performs on slow curves and mousey routes. with a car that spins very well in those conditions. In the Principality, gained strength despite being a time of year where Max still dominated in pleasure. And because of this, Ferrari believes that history should repeat itself in Singapore because of its characteristics.
In turn, They know they can do well at Monza because it’s a specific track, with little load and many straights, conditions in which the Ferrari always performs well and nothing can be compared to more representative tracks. And they managed to break down McLaren’s wall again with Charles. Now, the next races are two more good opportunities for Ferrari.
In the urban circuit of Baku, Ferrari will once again show its speed in its long directions and will be big between the walls. They should aim for everything there with Sainz and Leclerc usually performing well there. And next is Singapore, a track where Carlos Sainz has been the only one capable of beating Red Bull all year after winning pole position.
If Carlos achieved it last year at Marina Bay, when Ferrari was ahead of Red Bull, this year we have to believe that the red ones will be the favorites on this street track, where Carlos has great chance to win the race. track that he likes and where he is comfortable.
He talked to her Carlos Sainz before the Spanish press present at the Italian GP in Monza at the end of the race this Sunday, with them, MD.
“We were there fast last year”
“It’s a Ferrari that on circuits like Monza, Singapore or Baku can give you the chance to win a race,” argued Carlos Sainz.
But it may not end there. Ferrari introduced a new floor and a great package of evolutions in Italy. They will have to wait for the events in Baku and Singapore to see how these new pieces perform on more ‘normal’ circuits and see if they make a real and representative step forward. to fight for more victories between now and the end of the year on other types of tracks, although knowing that McLaren will be a favorite of the majority and mercedes and Verstappen They should be in the fight.
“To see more normal circuits, how this new floor works, we have to wait for Austin and if in Austin we are closer to the McLarens or we are on the same level as Monza here, we can still dream of that from now until the end of the season you can win more races”Carlos declared.
“But if we win or if we are in the fight for victory in Baku or Singapore, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the year will be that fast”added the Spaniard
They believe in the Constructors’ World Cup
According to Carlos, the main goal besides achieving more wins this year should be to try to go for the Constructors’ World Championship, a title Ferrari has not achieved since 2008.
“Yes, it is a goal, for sure. Above all, if it continues like this, I insisted, if we manage to stay at this level between now and the end of the year, the constructors’ championship will be attempted,” argued Carlos.
He Red Bull leads the Constructors’ World Championship with 446 pointsbut energy drinks have a very difficult car to drive that only Verstappen knows how to tamea car with many balance problems that are still not understood and seem to have no short-term solutions.
If McLaren hadn’t made so many mistakes with the best car since Miami, it would have surpassed it, but now it is 8 points behind Red Bull. And on Ferrari is third, 39 points away. The Italians want to fight it out and they have two solid drivers to try and keep believing.
