At the end of the Japanese F1 GP, a happy and optimistic Carlos Sainz stated that Ferrari will have a chance of beating Red Bull on some tracks
F1 leaves Suzuka and with it the Japanese GP with many confirmations and just as many questions. Return to victory for the Red Bull which once again confirms itself as the queen of this motoring dominance that will last from 2021. The Austrian team showed up in Japan with hunger and anger after what happened in Australia, said fact Verstappen e Perez attend the third double in four outings seasonal so far.
In addition to Red Bull, the other great (and surprisingly) satisfied company of the Japanese weekend is certainly there Ferrari. The Ferrari from Maranello certainly did not leave Suzuka with broken bones but rather demonstrated once again that SF-24 it is a solid, reliable single-seater and presents an excellent basis for development. The first big update package isn't expected to arrive until Imola GPbut nevertheless halved the gap from the single-seaters designed by Adrian Newey.
F1, Ferrari: the words of Carlos Sainz after the Japanese GP
Beating Red Bull, as we know, is not a simple mission. He knows it more than anyone Carlos Sainzthe only driver to win a non-Austrian race last year in Singapore and two weeks ago in Australia. The Spanish driver himself, speaking after the race at Suzuka, declared:
It is certainly a perfect start to the season, three podiums in three races and a victory confirm it. The car allows us to shine a little more in the race compared to last year, now we can make different strategies, overtake on the track and above all look forward rather than backward, this is fun for the driver. Beat Red Bull? Let's not forget that they brought a large package here, but we still haven't. I believe that on tracks like Monte Carlo, Monza, Singapore and maybe even Miami we will have a chance to win.
It will certainly not be easy for Ferrari to interrupt the hegemony of Red Bull which is shattering record after record in F1 but the conditions to give the team led by Christian Horner there are all. While waiting for the first updates on the SF-24 to be brought to Maranello, especially to resolve the problems on Saturday in qualifying, the team led by Frederic Vasseur can finally look forward with more serenity.
