As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Sainz stated that he and the team are working very hard to beat Mclaren in the constructors’ championship this season. Analyzing his own performance, the Ferrari driver mentioned he was lacking consistency with the car.
“My pace is right, but there is a lack of consistency,” said Sainz.
“And today you really do have to put all the puzzle pieces in the right place to show a good racing performance. I’m doing better now and it has comforted me to see that I was always close to Charles in terms of speed. But he has managed to put better weekends together,” stated Carlos.
