However, Carlos Sainz, who previously drove for McLaren, believes that Ferrari’s strong early-season form will provide them with the cushion they need to maintain their position. He expressed his conviction that despite McLaren’s rapid progress, Ferrari should have enough in hand to secure their standing in the Constructors’ Championship by the end of the season.
Sainz’s optimism stems from Ferrari’s early-season performance and McLaren’s consistent growth. In the current season, Sainz has been the only non-Red Bull driver to stand on the podium, highlighting the strong form of the Ferrari team. However, a fuel system leak prevented Sainz from starting the Qatar Grand Prix, causing him and the team to lose significant points.
