Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari had a new diffuser in yesterday’s practice, but it was replaced on Saturday by the old version of this key element of aerodynamics. The head of the Scuderia Mattia Binotto explained why this is related.
“It was one of the elements we were just testing,” he said. – It was necessary to gather some information about his work on this track in view of the next phases of the season. Yesterday we tested it, now we are going to analyze everything and decide how we will use it in the future.
In general, the whole team is now very enthusiastic, the successful start of the season gave everyone extra energy, but our modernization program is driven by a limited budget, and each session is very important, as we try to find the best direction for further works by car. Our resources are finite and the budget determines what we can and cannot do.”
When asked if Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were on a level playing field, Binotto replied evasively: “I think they’re both doing pretty well, Carlos is driving great this weekend – we’ll see how he performs in qualifying and the race .” † Hopefully successful, and that’s good for Charles, because he’s targeting a partner.”
