Sainz: Red Bull’s F1 advantage may be wiped away by Ferrari upgrades
Ferrari has emerged as Red Bull’s main competitor this season, with Sainz also clinching a victory at the Australian Grand Prix, the only driver besides Max Verstappen to do so. Despite Red Bull’s strong performance in Japan, where they secured a 1-2 finish, Ferrari has hinted at significant developments in their SF-24 that could challenge Red Bull’s dominance in the future. Sainz believes Ferrari needs to close the gap on Red Bull quickly to remain competitive in the championship race. Ferrari’s team principal, Fred Vasseur, acknowledges Red Bull’s current advantage but sees improvements in Ferrari’s high-speed corners and tire management as key to applying pressure on the leading team. Vasseur stresses the importance of humility and continuous improvement in the tight competition behind Red Bull, emphasizing the need to start each race weekend anew.
