To win you need to be perfect: a concept that Scuderia Ferrari Spanish driver Carlos Sainz has explained several times in interviews with journalists, especially when the opponent to beat is a great team like Red Bull: the Austrian side has proven time and time again that it leaves nothing to chance and knows what it takes to win. Not to mention the progress of Mercedes, which was clear especially after the TD039 directive, an aspect to could prove decisive in determining the hierarchies for 2023.

It is clear that next year too the first three teams will be the usual ones, and Carlos Sainz has no desire for the Ferrari to again lose the battle against Red Bull, with Mercedes also close to the Maranello team in the final stages of the 2022 Formula 1 campaign.

The Spaniard clearly indicated the improvements Ferrari needed to compete at the top level next season: “We have to improve the execution of the races. The starts, for example, have created big problems for us this year ”, he commented in an interview for Sky Sports UK, referring to an issue that the Maranello technicians have detected but can only replace this winter.

“I had a clutch issue all weekend in Abu Dhabi, it cost me a position to Lewis Hamilton and I lost five or six seconds of race time in that fight I had with him,” Carlos Sainz pointed out. “Another aspect to sort out obviously concerns the strategy and the choice of the right tires for Sunday. This is something we are working on for next year, then of course there is development. We want to beat Mercedes and Red Bull, so we have to develop more of them.” – Scuderia Ferrari Spanish driver Carlos Sainz concluded.
