Ferrari, Leclerc wants to open the Chinese box. Sainz has become the golden man of the market

Chinese Shadows on the First System. And especially on Ferrari, which everyone is waiting for, in the hope that it can create a problem for the big Red Bull.

The shadows of the Chinese on Leclerc and Sainz, were thrust into the center of attention by the announcement of Hamilton’s arrival in Maranello and by the atmosphere of curiosity created within the Scuderia.

Where, so far, the rejected pilot has proven to be more powerful than the confirmed pilot.

“My fault”. When asked yesterday about the topic, Leclerc did not shy away. Indeed, he read the mea culpa.

Thus: “Carlos is doing a better job. Regarding the first race of the season in Bahrain it is difficult to make a comparison because I was facing problems on my part, but apart from that he started very well. However, in the last two races it was stronger Now it’s up to me to work: especially at the qualifying pace, which is usually a tough move. very high Normally, when I’m working on special features, I’m quite sure that I can improve very quickly, but obviously now I have to prove the track, starting with qualifying for the Sprint Race here in Shanghai.”

Example, right?

“Too expensive”. As for Sainz, yesterday again Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s advisor dealing with drivers, explained himself like this: “It’s true, we talked to Carlos, he is the market trader for 2025. We are interested in him, but I think we have received it. The economic offer from Audi is a figure we will not be able to match…”

Audi bought the Sauber team. The German legend will lead the team from 2026 but has already taken matters into his own hands. In detail do not forget: Sainz’s father is an Audi man, and the brand of the rings he won the last Dakar.

On the song. The first Sprint race of the season is also scheduled in Shanghai. The qualifiers for the one hundred kilometer race have already been scheduled for this morning at 9.30, which will start tomorrow morning at 5. Also tomorrow, but at 9, tests will be held that will determine the starting grid for the Grand Prix, which starts on Sunday every 9.

All live on Sky.
