P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have been one of the strongest driver lineups on the grid, but the Spaniard believes he must do more to capitalise on bad moments from his teammate.
Carlos Sainz believes that he needs to choose the right moments to take advantage of Charles Leclerc in order to beat his teammate in Formula 1. Last season, Leclerc narrowly outscored Sainz in the Drivers’ Championship, but Sainz was able to beat him during the 2021 season. Leclerc had the upper hand in the switch to ground effect cars in 2022, but Sainz stepped up and took the only non-Red Bull win at the Singapore Grand Prix. Ferrari is hopeful that they can close the gap to Red Bull in 2024, but Sainz understands the importance of working together as a team. He believes that they have a good relationship and push each other, but always prioritize the team’s objectives. Leclerc is reportedly linked to a five-year agreement with Ferrari, while Sainz is seeking a two-year extension for his current deal.
