has voiced significant concerns about the SF-24's competitiveness at one of the sport's most iconic venues. The Monaco Grand Prix, renowned for its unforgiving, narrow circuit that snakes through the city’s lavish streets, presents a unique challenge where the quality of a Saturday qualifying session can determine the entire race outcome.
Ferrari's introduction of key upgrades to their SF-24 model at Imola was intended to up their game, but outcomes fell short of expectations at Imola. Despite the upgrades, Sainz only managed a fifth-place finish, starkly underscored by his teammate Charles Leclerc's third-place podium—a clear signal that the potential of the SF-24 was yet to be fully harnessed.
Sainz further expressed: "It's encouraging to see that our race pace is strong, but we need to improve the one-lap pace. "I think some good pace , and it meant that we were in the race. We seem like we can fight with these guys. It just seems like in quality they have a bit more than us, which is something that we need to look into and something that we need to keep improving, because there are going to be circuits where you cannot do anything with strategy or with overtaking."Alex is the editor-in-chief of F1 editorial.
