Sainz's words after free practice sessions at the Silverstone GP
Although the Spanish driver ended the free practice sessions behind his teammate, in the Ferrari garage the most convenient set-up seems to be the one used by Carlos Sainz. The two drivers, in fact, carried out both sessions with two different setups, comparing what they had brought before GP of Barcelona (Sainz) and the one used in the last two events (Spain and Austria) with the number 16.
Despite the problems encountered, the comparison does not appear to have yielded the desired results and has not highlighted any progress on the updates brought to the track by the Red. Carlos Sainz, with hard tyre, finished solo behind Charles Leclerc (medium tyre). 18 thousandths.
