Sainz and Leclerc agree: 'Aston Martin sit with the strongest teams'

Aston Martin as challenger?

The two Ferrari drivers believe Aston Martin might be a threat in a conversation with the Italian branch of Sky. Before the start of the Bahrain GP, the two can already be found at the circuit making pre-race preparations and speaking to the press. Sainz is first asked who the top three will be this year. Sainz: "The three strongest? Not counting me and Charles? Apart from the drivers, I would say Red Bull, Aston Martin and Mercedes are the strongest."

Leclerc agrees with his teammate: "Aston Martin was surprisingly good during testing, but the data finally confirmed what we saw. They have a really good car."
