Carlos Sainz Discusses Ferrari's Struggles in Keeping up with Competitors. Sainz notes the team's ongoing issues with tire degradation and race pace, citing difficulties in keeping up with Mercedes and Aston Martin during recent races.
Carlos Sainz said “We still ‘deg’ more than the Mercs, we still deg more than the Astons, we still lack a bit of race pace.” further adding “On the hards, I was pushing flat-out, Charles was pushing flat-out behind me and we just couldn’t keep up [with the Mercs]. I think this is just the true picture. The Merc and the Aston had maybe two- or three-tenths on us today but the Red Bull, at beginning of the stints, they have a second like in qualifying and then it opens up even more even on a good tarmac like here.”
