It will once again be Ferrari vs Red Bull in Jeddah. After last Sunday's one-two, the Maranello team must find further confirmation on a very different track, which would underline even more the goodness of this F1-75 which arrived after a great deal of work at Ferrari. Charles and Carlos had a different weekend but from both it is possible to gather some positive aspects with respect to the behavior of the car, which is very balanced. A single-seater which, unlike last year's, could allow him to fight for victories, which are anything but obvious.
“We are fine and there are smiles in the team after the win. I haven't returned to Maranello yet, but everyone there is happy and motivated for the victory in Bahrain” said Leclerc who underlined the characteristics of the F1-1 to the microphones of F75 which brought him back to the top step of the podium in Bahrain. “What struck me about the car? They are different from last year, happy with the balance which gives you the confidence to push. The car is solid and that's good “. Charles, already in Bahrain had a first and very heated duel with Verstappen.
Charles is less unbalanced when it comes to favorites in Jeddah, specifying that he should never let his guard down and rest on his laurels: “Favorite in Jeddah? We will be in the fray, I think Red Bull will be very strong. We will have the answers shortly, but I don't want to feel favored.".
Although it was a somewhat difficult weekend for Sainz, always very strict with himself, the Spaniard from Ferrari showed himself quite optimistic, even fearing the opportunity to see him sign a renewal with the red in a short time. “Maybe I was a little too negative after the race. We did one-two… but I wasn't happy with the car and how I drove it. I'm working and I need to bring it closer to my riding style. However, despite this, we finished on the podium and we have room for growth. Renewal? We are close" Sainz said.
