Carlos Sainz is expecting to start the 2021 season at a “slight disadvantage” compared to his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc. Leclerc and Ferrari’s juniors will also be in action this week, but Sainz still expects his Monegasque teammate to have a slight edge at least early in 2021. “Charles had a great last season,” Sainz is quoted by Italy’s Mediaset. “I will start at a slight disadvantage compared to him, as I don’t know the car and will have only a day and a half of testing behind me. The relationship with my teammate has never been a problem for me,” Sainz added.
