Carlos Sainz obsessed with Ferrari reliability

The FIA ​​has included Lewis Hamilton, Nick de Vries, Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz at the same official press conference in Sakir on this third and final day of testing in Bahrain. Since its debut, especially for Carlos Sainz, the balance is a bit fuzzy as he was disappointed with the results of the race simulation.

“So far so good. We have done good tests in terms of reliability. We have done all the tests we wanted to do. We have a good car, but most importantly we have done good tests. It’s about being there.”

“I’m very happy with how testing went. We were able to try a lot more and understand where we want to go in the future. Last year we tried a few things that compromised the first half of the season. Now it’s all clear, but in the last tenth you won’t know which side he’s on until qualifying,” said the Ferrari driver.

The target remains ambitious. I’m happy to be in the title race now.”

Leclerc looking for Ferrari’s sweet spot

His teammate Charles Leclerc explained: Not as much as we hoped, but we need to find a suitable tweak for these new features. ”

And he said he expects the design change to result in “a little quicker on the straights, but maybe a little sacrifice in cornering performance.”

“I can say that over the last three days of testing, we still have quite a bit of work to do on the track to find the sweet spot for the car in terms of set-up. I don’t think we’ve found the car sweet spot.
