2023 was a tough year for Ferrari. At the last race of the season, second place was snatched away from them by Mercedes. There was one big highlight though, Singapore! Carlos Sainz managed to take victory there. How he will fare in 2024 remains to be seen, although he is positive.

"I would like to be positive and encouraged going into a new season. I'm also positive and encouraged because I've seen the amount of work that everyone's put into this car," said Sainz to GPBlog and others. He continues: "I like the working method that we've had in Ferrari over the last six months, eight months, ten months developing this car." The Spaniard, who is entering his final season at the Scuderia, just does not yet know if the car suits him: "Whether it suits my style, impossible to say."

A better Ferrari

As far as Sainz is concerned, there is one big goal for Ferrari: "We want the car to be more drivable. We want the car to give us less bad moments, less tricky moments on track, a bit easier on tyres, a better race car in general. And hopefully that means better results." Whatever the car will look like, the Smooth Operator knows one thing for sure: "I will adapt to whatever it is that the car is doing and I will drive it as fast as possible."
