I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
Carlos Sainz finished FP1 in third place and FP2 in sixth place, and is content after a positive Friday with his Ferrari SF-24. The Spaniard says he is 'confident' Ferrari are in a good place for their first home race of the year, especially as teammate Charles Leclerc topped both sessions.
"A good Friday for the team. We had a strong FP1 and in FP2 we made some changes that seemed to go in the right direction and I was reasonably happy with the car. I didn't put together a clean lap with the soft but I’m confident we are in a good place," said the three-time Grand Prix winner.
Sainz looking forward to a regular Saturday in his SF-24:
"After two Sprint weekends, it was good to have time to test and try different approaches on the car, especially having a new package here. There's still a bit of work to do before qualifying but I’m already looking forward to tomorrow."
Ferrari will be hoping that both drivers can replicate their practice performances and qualify on pole position on Saturday in Imola.
