Carlos Sainz called the current season the most difficult of his career. However, the Ferrari driver is confident that his team can add and impose a title battle in 2023.
“We want to get back to the same pace,” said Carlos Sainz at the FIA press conference in Sao Paulo. – We want to fight for podium places with Red Bull and Mercedes. Much more interesting to be up front.
My season turned out to be difficult, especially the first third – I had a lot of retirements and technical glitches. I have never had such a difficult season as in 2022. How did I pilot? I constantly lacked speed.
We want to finish the season in second place in the Constructors’ Championship. It is much better to finish in front than to be behind the Mercedes and get more time to work in the wind tunnel.
I believe we will have chances next season [побороться за титул]. This year Red Bull dominated, but they didn’t have a clear speed advantage. I don’t think we are much less than them in terms of developing the machine and its efficiency. In Austin I didn’t just take pole, we showed the first and second time.
As I said, in terms of sheer speed, our car is very close to Red Bull. We need to add some power and downforce.”
