Here are the words of the pilots of the Ferrari Charles Leclerc and of Carlos Sainz at the end of qualifications of the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw them place in fourth and eighth position.
“We are probably the ones who they have improved more since last year – said Leclerc – as I said on Friday evening, we did not expect to be so competitive. This is one positive thing, but we have to stay with your feet on the ground. Here it is a rather strange race, we have to expect other events as well. For now though, it looks like we did a big step forward. Now we know our value in terms of speed in qualifying, and it was one pleasant surprise, as a team I think we can be satisfied with the progress we have made compared to last season, it’s nice find yourself so far ahead on the grill “.
“A day very positive for the team – added Sainz – I think we must all be proud of where we are today. We got caught a good scare in Q1, when the car it went out, but luckily I managed to restart it and bring it back to the pits. It is not easy to get back focused after such an episode, and instead we managed to do very well in Q2. Obviously I am not thrilled by my last round launched in Q3. I tried to do my best, but I probably missed it a little knowledge of the car to get everything I wanted out of it. In general, however, I’m satisfied”.
