Can they bounce back in Sochi?

The Maranello-based outfit would have hoped that their home race would have panned out differently. Instead, they were beaten by their arch-rivals, McLaren, who are now ahead of them in the team standings.

But, Sainz and Leclerc haven’t given up, as, in a few days’ time, they will be zipping around Sochi for the Russian Grand Prix. They hope to score a good result this weekend, with the aim of stealing third place from McLaren in the standings.

However, the Woking-based outfit are optimistic about the upcoming race, as they scored a one-two finish in the last race weekend. But, know that Ferrari will throw everything at them to get ahead in the championship.
