Mattia Binotto says Carlos Sainz Jr. must put together faultless racing weekends in the second half of the year formula 1 Season.
Sainz has joined Scuderia Ferrari instead of Sebastian Vettel after two years with the McLaren F1 team, and he took two podiums in his first eleven races. He finished second in the Monaco Grand Prix and inherited third place in the Hungarian Grand Prix when Vettel was disqualified.
Binotto, team principal at Ferrari, says the Spaniard started life well for the Maranello team, but Sainz knows he needs to have more faultless weekends if he is to improve his sixth place in the drivers’ standings.
“I think he already said what I expect from him in the second half,” Motorsport.com quoted Binotto as saying. “He wasn’t able to put an entire weekend together so there is always a mistake here or there.
“Whether qualification, start or in the race. So I expect that he will keep learning the team, keep learning the car. And soon he will hopefully put together a whole weekend, which I think is important. “
Binotto says Ferrari hasn’t been surprised by Sainz’s performance since joining the team in the off-season.
Max Verstappen was Sainz ‘first teammate in Formula 1 when she was at Scuderia Toro Rosso, and he often gave the Dutchman a run for his money, as he did during his time at McLaren. did Lando Norris.
“I’m not surprised because when we made the decision and contacted him with the offer, we did a lot of analysis and we knew that this was a strong driver, we knew that he was a strong racer, we knew that he was very consistent was the race, ”said Binotto.
“And it was fast too, it has been fast since he was in F1. We shouldn’t forget that his very first F1 season with STR was his teammate Max [Verstappen], and in his first year he was kind of fine.
“And if we look again at last year with Lando, he was very good again and we know how strong Lando is and he shows it in the current season too, so we are not surprised how strong he is or how” he is fast. “
