Carlos Sainz arrives at the Spanish Grand Prix with the intention of giving knock on the table. The man from Madrid had a past weekend Quite complicated and hopes to make up for the mediocre eighth place achieved in Monaco with a good performance in front of his audience.
“I really like having the harrow CS55 in Barcelona. The Spanish fans are very special to me and I am incredibly happy to have a dedicated grandstand for them… It’s hard to explain what it feels like to race in F1 at home. I just love it and I hope that we can put on a good show and get a good result. You can be sure that I will give my best,” Sainz said in a statement published by Ferrari.
On the other hand, the Montmeló circuit presents this weekend a modification of its layout compared to last year. The only chicane on the circuit has been removed and turned into two fast corners.
Sainz has also spoken about this change: “I think it’s a good idea and it will be fun to run with this new layout in sector 3. There was nothing really wrong with the chicane, but it’s good to try a different approach and see how it affects the lap times and the race. I’m looking forward to the time to compete on the track.”
