Carlos Sainz has admitted that this weekend’s United States Grand Prix will determine whether Ferrari has a shot at claiming the F1 Constructors’ title in 2024.
“Ferrari is currently ranked third in the Constructors’ Championship, trailing Red Bull by 34 points and McLaren by 75 points, after a disappointing qualifying session at SingaporeGP. The team found some solace with Charles Leclerc’s win at Monza due to successful upgrades on the SF-24, but the bouncing issue remains a concern. The upcoming race at Circuit of the Americas will be crucial for Ferrari to gauge their progress on more conventional tracks, per drivers Leclerc and Sainz. Sainz emphasized the significance of comparing performance against McLaren and Red Bull in Austin to determine their championship aspirations for the remainder of the season. The three-week break allowed teams to introduce new upgrades, potentially altering the competitive landscape in the upcoming races.”
