Carlos Sainz focused on improving Ferrari's race pace and tire management ahead of the 2023 F1 British GP
Carlos Sainz had a decent practice session on Friday even though he stated that Ferrari needs to focus more on the race pace and tire degradation, areas in which the team has not been particularly strong in. He said (via Ferrari.com):
“It was a challenging Friday here in Silverstone. FP1 was quite tricky because of the wind and the track conditions, but we completed a good programme. I think this helped us make good progress in FP2. We need to keep working on tire management and race pace.”
Sainz added:
“This should be our main point of focus going into tomorrow, as today, we could see that over one lap we were not too bad. Overall, we are quite happy with today but of course, there’s still some work to do.”
The Spanish F1 driver won his first race ever in the sport last year in Silverstone, which is why he came into this race weekend in a positive mood. Only time will tell how the rest of his weekend goes.
