There are now only two weekends left at the end of a bittersweet championship for the Ferrari who has finally found that power that had been denied in the past two seasons. The F1-75, a creature as strong as it is fragile, has essentially remained unchanged from the initial project, against an RB18 which has constantly changed, revolutionized and revolutionized. Sainz e Leclerc they still have positions to defend and, although some say that Ferrari wants a third place in the standings to have more hours in the wind tunnel, from the Maranello team there is firmness on the objectives to be achieved.
Sainz, the budget of the season
Ferrari's developments were planned and managed very sparingly. Especially in the first part of the season, the team had no problems finding the right set up right from the beginning of the weekend. What has been missingbeyond reliability, it is the ability to adapt to the problems on which a global challenge is based. The one that led Red Bull to two world titles and is pushing Mercedes to improve in view of 2023. The Brackley team is 40 points behind the redhead, a considerable gap, which however must be protected without further exits. The Spaniard, Carlos Sainz is back from 2 withdrawals in succession, in America and Japan. In Mexico he finished ahead of his team mate, but with an engine that had reached the limit.

"The first part of the season was difficult for me – admitted Sainz in the press conference in Brazil. “I couldn't adjust to the car. Then it got better, but there were still reliability problems. Then we found the pace, and thanks to the great work done by the engineers I was able to learn a lot. Mexico was an unusual race, but now we are focused on the last two. We want to find the pace to fight with Red Bull and Mercedes. The goal is to have clean weekends to better prepare for 2023".
Forbidden to settle
During the weekend in Brazil he should be able to take advantage of a fresher engine, to face both the Sprint and the race, without problems until Abu Dhabi. In a season made up of a few highs and lots of bass Sainz hopes to bring Ferrari "front row" again in the constructors' championship. Closing the championship with dignity.
"We are aiming for second constructors' place, priority must be given to position in the championship. I would say that this is the thing that matters, beyond the reasoning that can be done about budget cap and wind tunnel. "
