Sainz off the podium in Miami
Carlos Sainz he returns from Miami with a very bitter feeling. On Saturday he collided with Daniel Ricciardo’s wall, on Sunday Sergio Perez ruined his excellent start and relegated him to fourth place after the first corners. Not to mention the Safety Car, which entered the track just one lap after his stop.
Sainz’s words
Much bad luck, therefore, for the Spaniard, who with more favorable episodes could have had a starring day. Lando took the cover instead Norriswho won his first Formula 1 GP in Florida. The former teammate wanted to celebrate the Briton like this: “I am very happy for Lando, because he is a driver who deserves the victory, and he already deserved it more than a year ago“, this is his comment to Sky Sports F1. “Today he was lucky, but luck comes to those who deserve it. This moment has finally come for him and he has already been very good during the year“.
Towards Imola
Ferrari now looks to the first of the two home events, Imola where the first package will arrive developments.
Considering the leap that the updates have allowed McLaren to make, underlining how Ferrari is the only team in the leading trio not to have developed the car yet and noting how the SF-24 competed against the RB20 and the MCL38 , there is reason to be optimistic in Maranello. Sainz however, like Frederic Vasseur and Charles Leclerc, does not want to give rise to unrealistic expectations: “The Imola update should help us, but it’s not even giant. With these new rules we are taking small steps: I don’t know how important it will be, but we’ll see in two Sundays“.
