When Charles Leclerc confidently leads the individual standings, with two wins in three races, his Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz cannot boast of such a success.
He is still inferior to Leclerc both in qualifying and in races, although he took the podium twice, but a week ago in Australia he withdrew from the race and flew off the track due to his own mistake. To justify the Spaniard, we can recall that his problems in Melbourne were initially related to technical and other issues beyond his control that affected his psychological mood.
Be that as it may, there were immediate talks that if things continue like this, he is destined in the team for the role of second fiddle to Leclerc, who will soon be betting in the Scuderia.
But when Mattia Binotto, the team leader, is asked about this, he assures that the Ferrari drivers have equal status: “There are only three races behind us, and we hope there are still 19 or 20 Grands Prix ahead of us, so the end of the championship is very far away. Our riders are free to compete against each other and we will be happy to see them duel and fight for the top results.”
