Seventy-five points. This is the gap that separates Scuderia Ferrari from the possibility of becoming constructors’ champion at the end of the year. Six races remain in a 2024 Formula 1 season which has taught us that everything can change from one week to the next, with different hierarchies from race to race.
In this context, the weeks of break between the Singapore and Austin weekends could overturn the current situation. Ferrari will arrive in the United States with updates aimed at further raising the level of performance seen in recent weeks.
For Carlos Sainz, everything is possible
Despite being close to his farewell to Ferrari, with a subsequent move to Williams, Carlos Sainz still hopes to bring the constructors’ title back to Ferrari. “It will be crucial to keep being consistent and not miss the opportunities that will come our way,” said the Spaniard. “At the end of the year, we’ll assess whether what we did was enough.” – the Ferrari man pointed out ahead of the United States Grand Prix, which is set to take place at the 5.513-kilometre Circuit of The Americas in Austin on Sunday, October 20.
“In terms of pace, I don’t think we’re at the level of the front-runners yet. I think we’re still missing something to be able to win, but if the others make mistakes, then we could get back into the fight.” – the Spaniard continued.
Carlos Sainz then spoke about the possibility of seeing team orders at Ferrari in order to help his Maranello teammate Charles Leclerc in case the Monegasque will reduce the gap to Max Verstappen and Lando Norris to have a chance of winning the Drivers’ title in the last races: “We haven’t talked about it because the gap between Charles and Max is quite large at the moment. If the team asks me to help him, I will; I’ve always been a team player.” – Carlos Sainz concluded.
