In the round-up: Carlos Sainz Jnr wants this year’s Ferrari car to be easier to set up than its predecessor.
In brief
Sainz wants “easier to handle” Ferrari
Sainz, who was the only driver from Red Bull’s rivals to win a race last year, said he wants “a lot” of change to this year’s Ferrari.
“There has been talk that [the 2023 car] is a car that suits me, that I like,” he told As. “Honestly, it has given me headaches not only myself but also to my team mate and to Ferrari.
“It’s very difficult to understand. I’ve not enjoyed driving it – I’ve had to adapt in many aspects and try out various setup configurations. I hope that in 2024, it becomes more versatile and easier to handle and set up. Let’s hope for a better racing car.”
