After a weekend of rest, in which the spotlight was on the 24 Hours of Le Mans, from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd June Formula One returns as the protagonist with the Spanish Grand Prix 2024, the tenth round of the World Championship of the season. The Montmelò circuit represents a fundamental test bed for the cars, on a complete track where the actual field values of the various single-seaters usually emerge.
Ferrari is called to make immediate redemption after the debacle in Montreal, with the double elimination in Q2 and the withdrawal of both drivers (Charles Leclerc due to an engine problem, Carlos Sainz due to an accident) in the race. In Barcelona we will better understand the true current level of the SF-24 compared to Red Bull and McLaren, without underestimating a Mercedes that was able to excel in Canada.
“In Monte Carlo it was a difficult weekend for Red Bull, and in Montreal it was difficult for us. We will have complicated weekends, but we must keep in mind that we still have 15 or 16 races left to go. It’s almost a 2018 or 2017 season, with 15 or 16 races a year“, declares the team principal of the Scuderia di Maranello Frederic Vasseur.
F1, Carlos Sainz “es now or never”. Extra motivation for the Ferrari driver, is this his last chance to win the Spanish GP?

“We still have a championship ahead of us. We will definitely have difficult weekends, but we will also have good ones. The most important thing is to keep the same approach, continue to develop and continue to solve problems. We are not world champions after a good weekend, and we are not lost after a difficult weekend. We will return to Spain and get back into the rhythm“, adds the French manager.
