Sainz spots possible Ferrari advantage over McLaren
Carlos Sainz believes that Ferrari will be able to challenge McLaren at high-speed circuits, following their defeat in the high-downforce Japanese Grand Prix. McLaren has shown great improvement since the Austrian Grand Prix, with Lando Norris now being the second-highest points scorer in the last eight races, behind Max Verstappen. Ferrari, being the only team to defeat Red Bull so far, expects to be closer to McLaren at upcoming races in the United States and Mexico, as they have put in a lot of work over the summer break to understand their package. When asked if Ferrari can challenge McLaren on pure pace, Sainz stated that they will be very close to them at tracks like Mexico and Austin with more low-speed content. Sainz also acknowledged Norris’ strong performance at Suzuka but felt that he had some strong laps of his own.
