Ferrari will return to its “normal position” and should be challenging for podiums in the 2023 Italian Grand Prix this weekend, according to its Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz.The Scuderia endured a dismal Zandvoort outing, with Sainz classifying fifth as team-mateThis came after the Monegasque crashed in qualifying, with both drivers complaining that the SF-23 machine was skittish on the limit and they had"zero idea" how it would behave.
“We know we need to change things for next year but for this year, circuits like Zandvoort and windy conditions and high downforce tracks, we are simply going to be slow.”The Spaniard added that despite the pace deficit , confidence should be taken from how the Ferrari drivers were able to battle with faster cars in a frenetic rain-hit race.“It was just a whole race of fighting through, getting the calls right… our pace was nowhere near that [to earn fifth place].
Anticipating a return to a “normal position”, Sainz said: “For Monza, I expect better things because in Spa, we were a lot quicker than we were [in Zandvoort] and I think honestly, at low-downforce tracks, we should be better and we should be back to our normal position.”
