So-so race for number 55 of the Ferrari🇧🇷 Carlos Sainz starts badly and loses the position in favor of Stroll, to then change the tires on lap sixteen to make a overcut on the latter successfully. After that, he is passed by Hamiltonthen closing sixth behind the Mercedes driver. After yesterday's disappointing qualifying, one could have hoped for something better from the Ferrari driver, who was in the role of first striker for the little horse. There Ferrari disappoints most of all, confirming even behind the Mercedes.
Sainz surprised: his words
The Madrilenian expressed himself after the difficult second weekend for the red: “It was a surprise to be so far behind: Friday when we saw the race pace we were convinced we had the pace to be second strength. Instead today, for various reasons, our direct rivals were faster than us, and we need to understand why. It happened on two different tracks, and this confirms that we are not where we would like to be, we need to improve and there is a lot of work to do. In the last stint with the hard tire you could see how the degradation was still there and we can't keep up with the Mercedes and Aston Martinswhile pushing".
The Spaniard continued reflecting on the personal performance"On a personal level it was definitely the best weekend, but in the second stint of the race with the hard I think I did all that could be done, e physically I was not 100%".
