Countdown for the Formula 1 engines to roar again. end of March, in Bahrain, the competition will return officially. The drivers are already in the middle of the season and some of them have even been able to shoot. This is the case of the two Ferraris, who have driven at Fiorano.
So much charles leclerc What Carlos Sainz they rolled last week in the scheduled Ferrari test. The Spaniard was able to complete more than 100 laps, with a distance slightly greater than that of a race. In addition, he practiced straight starts to get back into touch with the tyres.
It was the first time that Sainz got into the car after Abu Dhabi 2022. His preseason has been eventful. Not only with physical and technical work, he also accompanied his father in the Dakar Rally.
It was common to see Sainz Jr in the helicopter following his father’s Audi, also among the rocks to tell him to brake in the most difficult areas.
After this first-person adventure on the Dakar, he returned to physical work. Precisely this Monday he has published several images working in the gym: “Last weeks of preseason training. Very happy with the progress, we keep pushing. Let’s go!”.
Sainz’s days pass between physical and technical work, also in Maranello. There Ferrari works to achieve that extra performance that allowed them to compete against max verstappen and his Red Bull until the end of the season.
a new simulator
It has been known that Ferrari is working hard on one of its weakest points: pit stops. For this they have installed a new stop simulator and the objective is to carry out, at least 1,000.
Asó has commented the engineer Diego Ioverno in ‘Motorsport’: “During the tests we recorded extraordinary record times. We got to make stops of 1.65 seconds”.
Some news that Sainz has surely liked, who returns more motivated than ever. His preseason is being very busy And now the most important thing remains: the countdown before Bahrain.
Last weeks of pre-season training. Very happy with the progress done so far. We keep pushing. Go! 💪🏼
