For a Charles Leclerc who wants to make up for it, there is a Carlos Sainz junior with some physical problems. Ferrari announced today that the Spaniard had an illness which forced him to return to the hotel in Jeddah, skipping the traditional day dedicated to interviews. Leclerc instead addressed the issue of Ferrari which wants to confirm that it is the second force in the World Championship and perhaps something more, while recognizing that Red Bull and Max Verstappen are superior at the moment.

“Honestly, in Bahrain it went as we thought, maybe even better – said the Monegasque – but we have to wait and see because drawing conclusions after the first race is a bit premature. For sure we need to focus on the brake problems which I don’t think will recur. In terms of pace, I don’t think that for now we can think of worrying Red Bull and Verstappen, but we are in a better position because this year the technical situation is better and we can focus on updates. However, I reiterate that Max is too far ahead at the moment.”

Leclerc is not pessimistic after seeing Red Bull’s performance in Bahrain: “We have a lot of things to think about and take care of within the team – said Leclerc – the areas we need to work on are very clear to improve the machine. There is a positive environment within the team, we have gained good momentum from the middle of last season onwards, in the winter we achieved the objectives we had set ourselves and the car is responding. We’re excited to get back on track, collect more data and try to develop the car to put pressure on Max.”
