"We are not where we would like to be, Red Bull dominates we have to improve, we are the first to be self-critical." Carlos Sainz does not hide Ferrari's difficulties for this start of the season: after the disappointment also at the Spanish GP, the driver of the Maranello team at the microphones of El Laeguero, Cadena Ser's program, retraces what has been done so far. "It's been a year that started in a complicated way," says the Spaniard. The car that Red Bull made is dominant and Mercedes seems to have found the right direction.
At Ferrari we are not where we would like to be, we are the first to be self-critical and we are working to improve. That's what's there at the moment and we're focused on getting the most out of it."
Right now Max Verstappen's Red Bull is on another planet. "You don't have to be a genius to know that Red Bull is very difficult to achieve this season, which doesn't mean Ferrari can't do that. We will try, just as we will try to win races." In Barcelona, starting on the front row with the second time, Sainz finished fifth: "Before the race I was relatively confident. But I felt it would be difficult for us to stay on the podium. We arrived ;; Fifth in a difficult weekend. We are driving at a very high level, but the car... I think Barcelona is the worst circuit for Ferrari. It makes me angry that the home Grand Prix is like this for our car. Canada is the opposite, I'll go there for the podium."
