It is “only a matter of time” before Scuderia Ferrari Spanish driver Carlos Sainz delivers his full promise at the Italian side, according to Team Principal Mattia Binotto, who recently stated that the arrival of Carlos Sainz alongside Charles Leclerc at the start of the current Formula One season has given the Maranello team the best driver lineup.
Yet Carlos has said that this championship is “not my best season” in the sport, after the first half if first year with Ferrari:
” My pace is right, but there is a lack of consistency. And today you really do have to put all the puzzle pieces in the right place in order to show a good racing performance. I’m doing better now and I have been comforted to see that I was always close to Charles in terms of speed. But he has managed to put better weekends together. I know that I can do a lot more.” – the Spanish driver admitted.
Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto agrees with the assessment made by Carlos Sainz, while at the same time admitting that the former McLaren driver has “made mistakes for being too aggressive”.
“He still misses the perfect weekend. In every qualifying or race there have always been a few small flaws,” he told Corriere della Sera. “But it is only a matter of time.”
Carlos Sainz is not worried and feels that he still has time to get up to speed – especially taking into consideration the fact that Scuderia Ferrari has “higher priorities than beating McLaren to third place” in 2020.
“We want to continue to improve as a team and build the team to try to be as complete as possible, and have the opportunity to win the title next year with the new regulations. We are ready for that.” – Carlos concluded.
