Carlos Sainz: "At Ferrari we are more concerned about winning again than about Mercedes"

MADRID, 29 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish driver Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) made it clear that what the Italian team is currently most concerned about is "winning again" and not controlling the Mercedes in the fight for runner-up in the Constructors' World Championship, while he acknowledged that the This weekend's Singapore Grand Prix "is the toughest of the season physically and mentally".

"We are worried about winning again more than Mercedes, if we win again before the end of the season the battle will be solved. Both Ferraris always qualify among the top three or four and now we need the race pace of Monza because with him we don't The Mercedes will win on Sunday. We have to focus on beating Red Bull when we can and that will solve the battle with Mercedes," Sainz explained this Thursday at a press conference prior to the Singapore Grand Prix.

The man from Madrid was ironic at Red Bull's warning to see them competitive in Marina Bay. "Imagine how we think they are going to be...", he replied in relation to the great dominance of the Austrian team. "I think we can fight with them, especially in qualifying and if you are ahead in the race you have a better chance of winning," he warned.

The fifth-ranked player in the World Championship doesn't know "what the secret is" to perform on a demanding track like the urban one in Singapore, "a great track to compete on". "You also have to be aware of the weather, which, as we saw in 2017 (when it was fourth), may have some prominence. It can rain, there are many people, many potholes, and it is the toughest race of the season physically and mentally, we are going to see how these rigid cars behave," he warned.

"This place is an oven, you have to stay mentally focused because it's hot in the car and if you want those two or three tenths of performance it's mentally tough because this circuit empties you, and you also drive counterclockwise. If you survive Singapore you are ready for anything," said Sainz.
