Mattia Binotto has always said it: the Ferrari he has two great riders and can have perhaps the strongest couple in the World Championship. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz they have two personalities and different driving styles, but they share a tendency to get the most out of the car. They rarely throw away points, but – if it happens – the thud makes noise, as in the case of the Monegasque’s accident in qualifying for the home Grand Prix. A crash, however, determined by the search for maximum speed. Speed that Sainz himself defined as ‘crazy’, to the point that it did not seem credible to him in the first days of testing. However, the Spaniard was very good at withstanding the impact and learning from his teammate’s driving style.
“I could say a lot about how much he learned from Charles in 2021. I should mention a lot to be honest: from the first lap of winter testing in Bahrain, I had a lot of things to learn from my teammate. He was driving the Ferrari in a particular way, but that style allowed him to be fast, and so he has been throughout the year“Said the Spaniard over the course of last season as reported by GPFans. “I had to adapt, I had to copy many of the things I was seeing from the data comparison. Sometimes, it was hard to believe it was possible: it has crazy speed but little by little – by adapting and trying to learn from him – I managed to get to a good level. But it’s still not enough, because there are still things where he is much stronger than me. We will exchange some information and both will try to become better drivers by learning from each other. I think the tight competition can improve us and also give a benefit to Ferrari. There is a lot of competition between us, and it’s great to have him as a teammate“.
