Carlos Sainz answers to questions dand the journalists present during the press conference of the Thursday of the GP of Singapore.
Sainz's words after Monza
The interview with the Madrid-born driver begins like this: “Sixth becoming stronger from race to race? I'm not sure... Definitely I felt good in the last few races in the car. We're starting to understand it much better and to make sure to put it in the right conditions right from FP1. This is for you gives confidence and helps you plan your weekend better! This year, however, I feel like I understand the car better and drive better than last year. But only in the u.sLast 2-3 weekends I managed to put everything together and this, evidently, gives results.obiettivo of the second part of the season was to be more constant, do more results e nail more weekends. We hope to continue to do so including we managed to do a Monza. "
A question (not only) of load…
He therefore answers the question whether this weekend will be tougher for Ferrari than Monza. “Yes, realistically and in theory nWe shouldn't be as fast as in Monza. Normally so far in all races with tracks with high aerodynamic load we found it more difficult than on the low load slopes. And this is a circuit with a lot of load, with very long curves, with a pmuch sharper string grease and which is less suited to the characteristics of our car... But if the weather is good hot, it might be tough also for the tires, and this could also be one great difficulty for us. But we'll see: as Fernando said, this year it will change a lot from race to race and we need to keep an open mind."
The lesson of Ferrari
The interview with Sainz ends like this: “What we learned in Zandvoort what can we apply here? We have, indeed, learned some interesting characteristics regarding the performance of our car on this type of track and with high-load wings. In some cases, things didn't go as we would have liked and that's why cchanging the package a lot from race to race. And hopefully we can find one best solution this weekend compared to the one we found in Zandvoort and which can give us more performance. But I think it's a broader problem compared to that which concerns only the rear wing: it is a ccharacteristic inherent to the car..."
