Ferrari’s focus is clearly shifting to the 2023 season, as Max Verstappen closes in on what appears to be an inevitable second drivers’ title. Sainz, who is Leclerc’s teammate at Ferrari, appears resigned to the reality that the Maranello based team will need to try again to beat Red Bull in 2023. “I would like a consistent end to the season now, especially with the amount of things that have happened to us this year,” he told El Mundo Deportivo newspaper. “I would like to have a calm last part of the season with fewer things happening to us and to be able to pick up the rhythm for next year, which will be a new opportunity,” the Spaniard added. “We have to try to improve a couple of things like reliability and consistency,” he said. “We have to bear in mind that this year we have fought against a team like Red Bull that is doing things perfectly. We have to learn from that and be the team that does it like that next year.”.
