Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz started from the front row in Mexico City, but both started worse than their rivals and lost positions. Carlos urged the team to understand the reasons for such a failed start.
Carlos Sainz: “As usual in Mexico City, the start turned into chaos. Braking before the first corner is very difficult, everyone tries to brake later than their rivals and keep their position. I think Sergio Perez was just unlucky, and Charles was luckier. This is what racing is like: collisions are common in the first corner in Mexico City.
We have to arrange our starts. Charles and I both got off to a bad start. I think my partner and I started the same, and Max Verstappen started very quickly.
In Mexico City, we had problems with the start during the first Friday practice due to the special adhesion properties of asphalt. During the Mexican weekend our starts were not perfect, while in the previous races we had very good starts. We need to understand the reasons.”
