MADRID, 21 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) positively evaluated this Wednesday the first of the three days of the official preseason test of the 2024 World Championship at the Bahrain International Circuit, where the Scuderia complied with the program, thinking about going ” faster and faster”
“Today is the first day back in the car, not the first in the car but pushing the car and doing tests. I think it was a great day for the team because we followed the program as we had planned,” said the Madrid native in a recording from the social network 'X' published by Ferrari.
Sainz finished third on a first day of testing that was dominated by Max Verstappen (Red Bull), a double world champion who wants to be the favorite for the title again from the beginning. The Spaniard was happy with fulfilling the script, knowing that they have work to do after being more than a second behind the Dutchman.
“We also did some long runs, we did everything we wanted. It was a good day of testing, a good start. Now we have to work and see how we can make the car faster and faster,” he concluded.
