During the winter the Ferrari he wanted to keep a low profile, waiting for the official chronometric results of the race weekends, to understand the level of competitiveness of his F1-75. But it was a common feeling that the Reds could once again have in their hands a car capable of winning victories and, probably, competing for the world championship. Bahrain gave credit to the Maranello fans’ hopes, with a first and third place in qualifying which then translated into a double at the finish line for Sakhir, with Leclerc faster than Sainz for the entire weekend. The great speed shown by the historic Italian team authorizes dreams of glory on the part of both drivers, who in 2021 had shown a similar level of performance. During the press conference at the end of the race, the two were asked if they were ready to fight for the world championship with each otherbelow are the answers of the two Ferrari standard bearers:
Charles Leclerc: “I think it is a really nice problem to have. I mean, we approached the season with the confidence that we would be fighting for better positions than in the last two years, but we didn’t know exactly where we were. Now we can see that we are in the middle of the title fight and therefore it is exciting. I think we are both very, very happy to be driving a car capable of winning. And we will fight for this, for sure ”.
Carlos Sainz: “I think the same. For Ferrari and for us it is great newsa, because we are where Ferrari should be and where Charles and I want to be in our life, that is, fighting for the world championship. It will be a long season and we need to be sure we develop this car well, because at the moment it is a fast car, but as Hamilton said, it needs to be throughout the championship to keep us fighting. Before the race, Charles and I talked and the first thing we said to each other was that being in first and third place was a fantastic feeling, like finding ourselves fighting for something big together. When we realized that this year we could have fought it was a good time for us to reflect and realize that we were very lucky compared to last year ”.
