Carlos Sainz feels that the media "overhyped" the impact of Ferrari's latest upgrade package ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
has accused the media of ‘overhyping’ Ferrari ’s latest upgrade package as they struggled to challenge for pole position at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Ferrari introduced a significant upgrade package for Imola, leading to many media outlets tipping them to be a serious contender this weekend.
Speaking after qualifying, Sainz wasn’t surprised by Ferrari’s turn of pace at Imola despite their upgrade. “I think when they did but when I looked at this track, it’s always been a McLaren track, a Red Bull track. Ferrari seem to struggle in the past here. It’s exactly what happened.” “Another thing we need to focus is the soft tyre, we have been a bit up and down this year with the soft tyre and that sector one, as I said, puzzled me a bit.”Leclerc was more disappointed than Sainz to see his chances of pole twindle, but he’s still aiming to challenge for the victory on Sunday.
