I know they are the first ones that are not happy with the performance this year” He then explained why Ferrari is struggling so much at Spa and elaborated on how it isn’t the normal trend in F1 “When you lose so much power from one year to the other which is actually not the normal trend in Formula 1. Normally you are expecting to stay the same or gain but when you lose so much power you know that in Spa you're gonna get in trouble” “So, I think it's an abnormality to see Ferrari so far back. But it is normal after what we saw in the first race how much they're losing on the straights” He then went into the details of what he will do as soon as he becomes a Ferrari driver “I’m going to be completely honest, of course, I want [more power]. I mean I’m the first one that will be there in the factory pushing to find more power and I’m pushing everyone as soon as I get there” “Ferrari has a lot of resources, a lot of power benches so I’m sure they are there at the factory working extremely hard to get the power that they've lost from one year to another” He summed up his words by putting forward his thoughts on what Ferrari need to do while reaffirming his faith in the team to turn things around “And it's a long way, they need to do a very very very very big step in order to get back to where we all are but I think if someone can do it is Ferrari” Fast Feed Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel revealed that they “tried everything that” they “can and a lot of effort went into” car “to try and make things better” but it’s “not enough” Mercedes’s Valtteri Bottas feels that he needs “to attack if” he “still” wants “to keep the title hopes” Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton divulged that he “woke up to the news of Chadwick Boseman passing away and that news broke” him and that “it wasn't easy to get back in focus but” he “wanted to drive to perfection for him” Renault’s managing director Cyril Abiteboul reiterated that he has “always said that” they're “not desperate for a customer team. But of course, it would be better to have partner teams in the paddock” He further elaborated that “it would be important for the further development of the engine - and also politically” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner thinks that Mercedes “love to hype up how others are the favorites” but “they’re going to be tough when they turn their engine modes up” He also added that Red Bull “also have the right countermeasures in the pipeline, which hopefully will work out well” in closing the gap to the Mercs He also pointed out that “Mercedes is like a well-oiled machine, a machine in which a lot of money is put into it. Their total package is simply very good” Toto Wolff, meanwhile, is of the opinion that they “are 30 points ahead. That's nothing” and that they “always knew it wouldn't be easy and” they “can't sit back and relax” Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto indicated that they “lacked grip when braking and accelerating and therefore performance in the car” He also accepted that they “certainly weren't competitive” Former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde feels that "surely” Ferrari “have something to show” why they are slow as “there has to be something behind it” If you were Sainz, would you be doubting your switch to Ferrari?
