Carlos Sainz resonated with Charles Leclerc’s opinion of working together as a team. The Spaniard stated that their main objective should be to drive the team forward and not their personal agendas.

“It depends on the situation. Usually there’s always a driver who is more to blame than the other one. I hope we will be mature enough to admit that, if it will happen – but I think we won’t arrive at that point,” said Sainz. “We know the priority is to bring back Ferrari at the top of the grid, and not the battles between us,” he added.

Carlos Sainz, who finished eighth in Bahrain and earned four points, believes that Ferrari are on the right path for a bright future.

“We are motivated by the wish to bring back Ferrari to win, which is a motivation few drivers have. I feel the team is already on the right path,” the Spaniard added.
