The team manager Ferrari Mattia Binotto to Sky spoke on the sidelines of the presentation of the new team. The Cavallino has resolved a crucial problem, that of speed on the straight: “Speed on the straight was our biggest problem in 2020. We have worked hard for more power and less resistance. We tried a lot both in the wind tunnel and on the dyno. We will be more efficient and faster on the straight“.
This year’s goal is to third place in the constructors’ standings: “Our first rivals are the other drivers. Right now we have to get it into our heads that we are not our first opponents, but everyone else. Doing better than last year means having hope and to be able to fight for the podium. Mercedes and Red Bull are benchmarks, from this point of view. Wait a strong Aston MartinWhile McLaren has changed a lot and then there is the Alpine. In short, there are many rivals and fighting for the podium is an ambitious goal, but that is what we must aim for ”.
“I hope the performance be better compared to last year. I will be happy if we improve. We have worked a lot, I hope we see the fruits on the track. Sainz is talented and work hard. I hope that together, as a team, we will take Ferrari back to the top. We will certainly try ”, are the words of Charles Leclerc.
So instead Carlos Sainz: “I would be happy if there was a progression and if we narrow the gap with Mercedes. However, it is impossible to say how much. We need to improve as a team and be ready for 2022, which will be a better opportunity than this. Leclerc? It is very artistic. I like that you play paddle tennis, I play it too. We can be teammates there too! ”.
