Sainz cannot enjoy Ferrari's SF-23: 'Fundamental weaknesses'

Carlos Sainz is having a solid season in his Ferrari for now. The Spanish driver has scored seven more points than teammate Charles Leclerc. Yet Leclerc is the first driver within the team. The Spaniard is not entirely satisfied with the car he has been presented with. He tells this in conversation with AS.com.

"It's a difficult, complicated year so far. The car is not as strong as we would like and it has fundamental weaknesses that we see at almost every track, except Canada and Austria. We have to see how things will go at Spa. Last year we were not very fast there, but this year it all looks very different. We have to wait and see," Sainz said.

In Sunday's race in Hungary, the Spaniard once again finished behind Leclerc. The two Ferraris came no further than seventh and eighth places. Team boss Frederic Vasseur was already looking ahead to the upcoming weekend in Belgium.
