Twenty-four points separate Charles Leclerc And Carlos Sainz in the Drivers’ standings. At the start of the season, the Monegasque consistently had another step over the Spaniard both in qualifying and in the race. The former McLaren driver tried to keep up with his boxing mate, but ran into several driving errors in Melbourne, Imola and Miami. After a disappointing Spanish Grand Prix at Carlos Sainz, also due to the reliability problems suffered by Leclerc, he has rejoined Charles in the rankings in the last few races.
In Monaco the single stop going directly from the full wet to the slick tires against the two made by Leclerc – who also mounted the intermediates before the dry ones – allowed Sainz to arrive in front of the 1997 class on the finish line of the Principality, while in Canada just over a week ago the Madrid-born finished in second place behind Max Verstappen while Charles Leclerc was forced to remount from the bottom of the starting grid due to the penalties to be served for the introduction of new components of the power unit beyond the three allowed by the regulation.
Now at Silvestone Ferrari has the goal of reversing the trend that sees it defeated by six races to date in which Red Bull has always dominated despite the fact that in terms of performance the F1-75s were overall better performing than the RB18s. Charles Leclerc has always been enthusiastic on the British track and now that he can push without fear of reliability problems it will not be easy for Sainz to keep up with his teammate even if the confidence at the wheel of the F1-75 has recently increased by the Spaniard. Regarding any hierarchies to be established between the two drivers to avoid losing more ground from Verstappen who has 49 points ahead of Leclerc Rubens Barrichello replied as follows: “I don’t want to get into this type of speech, because then I am targeted in Brazil for my judgments, I just say that Ferrari has two very good drivers, the rest is politics and I don’t care“the words of the Brazilian interviewed by The Gazzetta dello Sport.
According to Rubinho, with 13 races still to be disputed, Ferrari has plenty of time to regain command of operations reliability allowing: “It has all the credentials, after all up to three races ago they were practically ahead, why couldn’t it happen again? Just a blink of an eye and the situation is reversed. The key is to do your homework right and transfer it to the GPs. Red Bull is fast and looks reliable. To win the championship you need both of these ingredients “.
