Sainz already has part of the answer

Carlos Sainz encounter Japanese F1 GP I want to improve the feeling of last week’s car Singaporethus spoiling a larger weapon in a fight at SuzukaHe knows he likes Red Bull Max Verstappen Carlos’ vote at Marina Bay was not easy . He completed the race in very delicate and mixed track conditions, favored by the drivers, without making a single mistake. Verstappen, Hamilton, Russell, among other things, failed. Despite the poor car, he got off to a good start, overtook Lewis and always finished on the podium in pure survival events.

A few days later, at Sky Sport Italia, he declared that after reviewing the data with his team, he had found some answers to his lack of confidence in the car on the urban track at Marina Bay. But the few days separating that schedule from this weekend in Japan work against him in this regard.

“Both Red Bull and Singapore have shown that they are by far and away a little bit ahead of us.”Carlos Sainz pointed out in a statement to Italian television.

“Partly, I already understood the fact that I didn’t have the ‘feel’ in the car in Singapore, but it was ‘back to back’.” (2 consecutive races within 1 week) It doesn’t help. But in Singapore, I was on the podium, so I’m happy. “he will focus on getting the most out of the Ferrari F1-75 at legendary tracks like Suzuka this weekend, and helping to secure another F1 win in the track’s final five races. I added that I did.

“In Belgium and Zandvoort we were far away, but in Monza and Singapore we were close to Red Bull, but in the race we could not be faster than them. I’m looking for it,” he said at a press conference ahead of the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

“We’ve had some ups and downs in terms of performance, but we’re in a good moment to finish a few races in a row. The last two races have been close and the goal is to win the race again before the end of the season. Having a perfect weekend gives us a lot of confidence and motivation for 2023. It’s been a long time since our last win,” added the Madrid man, highlighting the difference in performance between Red Bull and Ferrari.

“Red Bull have been very strong in the race, qualified well and have a very complete package at all circuits. Ours (package) is also very good. It’s an old-fashioned track, very similar to Driver, with a special atmosphere,” he concluded.
