According to the team boss, a podium for Sainz would not have been inconceivable if he had been able to finish the race. The
Ferrari's speed was impressive and with Sainz's DNF the Maranello based racing team missed out on expensive points for the constructors' championship.
In Melbourne,
Ferrari once again managed to outrun
Red Bull Racing in the championship. Where
Charles Leclerc is now 34 points ahead of number two
George Russell, Ferrari itself is 39 points clear of Mercedes. It's a nice statistic, but in Maranello, they don't place a lot of value on it.
"We are not thinking about the world championship yet because only three races have passed. We focus on every race, that's what we've done so far and that's how we'll continue to do it," the top executive concludes.
