P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ferrari has already taken a grand prix victory this year after claiming a 1-2 finish at the Australian Grand Prix – but where else might the Italian squad be competitive this year?
Carlos Sainz believes Ferrari can challenge Red Bull at specific tracks for race victories, despite Red Bull’s dominating start to the season, which includes three wins out of four races. Sainz mentioned that circuits like Monza, Singapore, and possibly Miami could be potential battlegrounds for Ferrari. Although Ferrari triumphed in Australia, Red Bull remains the strong favorite for the championship, with Max Verstappen leading the charge. Sainz has emphasized the need for Ferrari to improve their car to match Red Bull’s performance at certain circuits and rally the team to bring a competitive package to these tracks. Ferrari’s victory in Australia was partly due to a brake issue for Verstappen, but Sainz knows the team must work hard to close the gap with Red Bull at challenging venues like Suzuka.
