Ferraricompared to his start to the season in 2022, is completing a disappointing start to the campaign this 2023.
Quick in qualifying but weak in the race, they have gone from being the second car to being the fourth in just a few months, which is weighing heavily on Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
If in Baku it was the man from Madrid who suffered greatly, in Miami it was the turn of the Monegasque to deal with the ungovernable Ferrari.
After the race, the ’55’ highlighted the superiority of Fernando Alonso: “I’m not very frustrated this weekend because I know that Baku was an isolated case. But after fighting Fernando in the first ‘stint’, getting to more than 20 seconds in the second is hard to accept.”
“I can’t push, as soon as you push one lap you have to go several tenths slower. We can’t push. I’m surprised because I expected us to do better“, he added in statements collected by ‘As’.
And it is that Sainz, when he was in Fernando’s DRS, tried to launch an ‘undercut’ that he ended up completing, but the Aston Martin pulls much more than the Ferrari.
“With this car we have little flexibility to try the ‘undercut’. Although looking at it with perspective we know that with the car we have now you can’t try the ‘undercut’“, he pointed.
“It was a good decision, at the right time, but now we know I would never have finished in front of Fernando with an ‘undercut’Sainz settled, sending a clear warning to Ferrari.
