F1 | Ferrari, Sainz: "It's not true that the F1-75 was developed in my favor"

In a recent interview Carlos Sainz explained how he had to adapt his driving style to the F1-75, a car with which he didn't immediately feel a spontaneous feeling. Evidently there was then a misunderstanding, because the Spaniard had claimed that some developments had helped him, suggesting that the development of the single-seater had gone in his direction.

This is a circumstance that Sainz wanted to forcefully deny, specifying that he had improved in performance - which significantly increased in level in the second half of the season, and it is no coincidence that the Iberian driver also won a GP - adapting his driving style more and more. driving the car.

“I read from several places that the F1-75 would be developed in my direction, and that is completely wrong – Sainz's words reported by GPFans.com – The car behaves exactly as it did at the beginning of the season, we were just slower than Red Bull and Mercedes in the second half of the championship. Personally, I just learned to drive it, I adapted my driving style to the car. I worked on the set-ups, of course, but the team didn't develop the car according to my needs. This is a completely false story. Overall, in terms of development, we were not up to par with our rivals."
