The words of the Spanish Ferrari driver after the first day of testing in Bahrain
Posted on
Ferrari debuted at Sakhir with 136 laps, 72 of which Carlos brought home Sainz. The Spaniard finished the first day of testing of the 2023 season in third place, lapping in the morning and providing the Scuderia with important data in which he verified what he gathered in the wind tunnel and digital modeling on the track. The result is hardly indicative (four tenths away from Max Verstappen), there is time to be at the top of the standings. Today, tomorrow and Saturday were and will be the days to check the car’s behavior in as many conditions as possible, and from this point of view the Spaniard was quite satisfied.
“Overall, I’d say it was a positive opening day. Reliability has been good and we were able to run without problems, completing the work program and collecting a lot of valuable data. We made some progress with the set-up over the course of the morning and were also able to conduct some good testing with the tires we had already tested in Abu Dhabi. The goal is to continue like this tomorrow too“, these are the words of Smooth Operator to the Ferrari channels.
Sainz worked with the C2, Proto and C3 compounds, he will also try the softer tires in the next few days. He covered 390 km, obtaining a time of 1: 33.253. Tomorrow, just like today, the Spaniard will ride in the morning, leaving the job to Charles Leclerc after the lunch break.
