Ferrari had a disappointing weekend in Montreal, with both of their drivers failing to finish. The team had high hopes after their victory in Monaco, but the weekend turned out to be a disaster. Both drivers were eliminated in Q2, and the team suffered a double retirement in the race. It was a race that Ferrari would like to forget.
At the beginning of the season, Ferrari seemed to be the only team capable of challenging Red Bull. This was evident in the Australian GP, where Carlos Sainz secured a brilliant victory for the team. Charles Leclerc also won his home race, proving that Red Bull was under threat. However, Ferrari’s momentum was halted in Canada.
Sainz, who qualified 12th on the grid, had hopes of progressing during the race. However, the unpredictable weather conditions made it difficult. He ended up spinning and colliding with another car, resulting in the retirement of both drivers from the race. This was the final blow for Ferrari in Montreal, and Sainz described it as a race to forget for the entire team.
Although the Canadian GP was a forgettable weekend for Ferrari, the next race is Sainz’s home race in Spain. The 29-year-old driver is determined to return to the top of the podium and wants the engineers in Maranello to address the issues with the SF-24. There is a lot of work to be done before the Spanish GP.
Sainz emphasized the need for a meeting in Maranello to identify and correct the car’s issues. They cannot afford to hinder their progress and make their championship hopes futile. Despite their recent setback, Ferrari is still expected to be competitive in Spain. Red Bull will have to work hard to prevent Ferrari from taking the lead in the constructors’ championship after a disastrous weekend for their Mexican driver in Canada.
