Sainz: I would like to win the championship with Ferrari

For example, nighttime temperatures in Las Vegas are quite low, now around 4 degrees, and that worries Carlos Sainz, although in theory the configuration of the city ring is more suitable for Ferrari than for its rivals.

Carlos Sainz: “If you look at the layout of the circuit in Las Vegas, you can say that Ferrari has to be competitive here – at least we have to fight for good results.

But when we talk about temperatures and think about the difficulties we sometimes had this year, how difficult it was to warm up the tires, then clear doubts about our competitiveness begin.

In general, there are two factors. Let’s see to what extent they will manifest themselves, which of them will have a stronger influence and which team will be able to show better results this weekend.

I believe that in theory our team has a chance to compete for the Constructors’ Championship, but that also requires McLaren to make some mistakes. If they do everything right, McLaren will still stay ahead, even if we win the race and they take second place on each stage.

In addition, races are scheduled on circuits more suitable for the McLaren car. If the Las Vegas ring itself is more suitable for Ferrari, the same cannot be said about the temperatures. We’ll see how everything goes, but of course I would like to win the championship with Ferrari.”
