Sainz puts bad season Ferrari into perspective: Other teams not close to Mercedes
- GPblog.com
Carlos Sainz announced before the start of the season that he will make the switch to Ferrari before 2021 and with that a dream comes true. A collaboration that would have been made possible in December last year. At that time Sainz could not yet know what Ferrari car would be like in 2020.
Indeed, the Maranello team is engaged in the worst season since 2014 and if it retains its current position in the Championship, you even have to go back to 1981 in which Ferrari last finished fifth in the fight for the constructors' title.
Ferrari will be back on top
And that while McLaren seems to have definitively found his way forward. The French AutoHebdo therefore asked him if he already regrets his choice. "No", is his firm answer. "How can you not get excited if you get to drive for that team. Even if they don't have the best season, it's still Ferrari."
According to Sainz, no driver could resist this offer and the current form of Ferrari should also be put into perspective. Things have often gone bad with Ferrari and according to the Spaniard they have always come out better. Moreover, the other eight teams are also not doing well compared to Mercedes.
