Compared to last year, this season is going fantastically well for Ferrari. There's hardly any hassle off the track, the team is third in the Constructors' Championship and only McLaren remain a real challenger for that spot.
There is no reason for team boss Mattia Binotto to be negative. He was not negative towards AS. He even claims that Ferrari have the best line-up on the grid.
"We have the best line-up on the grid at Ferrari. Carlos is excellently integrated within the team and is improving himself every race. He provides an excellent frame of reference for Charles, who is really pushed to the limit."
Leclerc and Sainz go at it evenly
Sainz struggled at the start but is now used to the car and performing at Leclerc's level. Both drivers, to Binotto's delight, have now achieved the same number of points.
"They both now have 80 points in the title race, which just goes to show how important it is to have two scoring drivers in the title race. We will have a lot of fun with these two guys in the future. This is why we have recruited Sainz".
At the Grand Prix in Belgium and the Netherlands, Ferrari will also try to start the second half of the season well and continue its form towards the end of the season.
