Carlos Sainz faces the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend after a great performance in Italy; Here he rose to third place on the podium after a tough fight with the Red Bulls and finally with his teammate Charles Leclerc, whom he beat in the match. However, the Madrid driver comes to the Marina Bay circuit with great caution because his Ferrari car has suffered from high aerodynamically loaded circuits this year and he is aware of it. “It will be harder for us here than in Monza”.
“I’m not sure Monza was my best performance, because I was already good in the last races and I had more confidence in the car. In general, I’m driving better than last year and I can see that, especially in the last race.” bullet. My driving is getting better and more consistent and I hope to continue that here,” Carlos said at the FIA press conference in Singapore.
“I feel like I’ve adapted to the car since the beginning of the season, which wasn’t the case last year. But Red Bull is one step ahead and we’re competing with Mercedes, Aston Martin or McLaren, depending on the characteristics of each track. Sainz said: “I don’t know exactly where we can be with them this weekend. ” said.
Regarding the characteristics of the Marina Bay circuit, the Madrid native notes: “The realistic thing would be to say that we won’t be as consistent as we were in Monza. high speed and low load, that’s where we showed our best performance this year. But we’ve learned a lot about performance on high-load circuits and hope to find a solution for this weekend. Except that one. It’s always hot here, tires fail in other ways, it’s a very physically demanding race and it’s hard to know exactly how we’re going to go. There are always a few safety tools and that opens up the possibilities,” Sainz added.
