ferrari has woken up. the italian team He has made a great progression in recent racesand the best proof of this is the performance shown at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Those from Maranello were clearly the second team at the Red Bull Ring, comfortably beating Aston Martin and Mercedes. If they had not made a strategic mistake and Carlos Sainz’s stop had been good, it is likely that the two Ferrari drivers would have been on the podium. This is what the Madrid pilot believes.
“You have to keep in mind that we had two bad pit-stops. The first two of the season coincide in the same double stop. 4.5 seconds from Charles and 4.2 seconds from me. Possibly I would have left in front of those three cars (Pérez, Norris and Alonso)”, said Sainz in statements to ‘AS’.
The ’55’ assures that at the Austrian Grand Prix they showed that they have taken a big step forward: “We were still a long way behind Red Bull, but at least we weren’t bad with Mercedes and Aston Martin. In Barcelona, Mercedes ripped our heads off and in Austria we had them under control. It means that we have progressed“.
However, Red Bull is still in a league of its own and standing up to them in an uneventful race is going to be next to impossible for the men in red.
“First, we need a little help from Red Bull, make some mess… because neither Max nor Red Bull have done any yet. And then, be the first behind. What career? In which they fail If they don’t fail, really… I don’t want to say that they will all win, but they have a good chance“said Carlos Sainz.
