Carlos Sainz was absent from the Ferrari,
had no rhythm at Zandvoort despite sixth on the grid, and finished seventh after a performance slump at the end. Alonso overtook him, although the Madrilenian was able to defend himself against Checo's attempts.
There is work ahead in Maranello to find out what went wrong at SF21 this Sunday.
"I can't explain it yet. The race was painful, I was going slowly, slipping, degrading the tires.
From the laps on the grid I noticed something that was not going well with which I was not happy
and it is something that we will analyze in the next few days, to see what it has exactly happened, "Sainz said.
"It is something that you cannot know at the end of the race, it takes a few days and some analysis. It
can be something big or small, but I prefer not to jump to conclusions before reviewing the data," explains the Ferrari driver.
Mattia Binotto,
team leader, advances the plan to be followed at the factory: "We will look at the car, its assembly, the
set-up
, the balances. I don't think it is a consequence of the accident
(on Saturday, in free practice)
.
No we can rule out anything and we will review all the details in the next few days. "
About the race in Holland, Sainz praised his defense on Giovinazzi at the start and how little he could do when he felt pressure from Alonso:
"went inside at turn three and my start was not very good.
You can not roll rolls wheel in those S's and he had to lift.
With Fernando there was no fight, he had the DRS and
by the time we got to the braking he was already in front. He was suffering a lot with the wheels by then, I did not have a good exit from the previous corner and I couldn't defend myself. "
"I will try to enjoy the weekend in Monza"
On Sunday, the 'home' grand prize in Monza, before the
tifosi
:
"I will try to enjoy the weekend, I sure remember it all my life.
I hope it will be like that, but before Monza I have a lot to do, a lot of data to analyze "It will be a couple of days with a lot of work. When I know what has happened in this race,
I will be able to reset and go to Monza somewhat happier than I am now," he
told AS.
