JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Formula One said its race in Saudi Arabia will go ahead as scheduled Sunday despite attacks on the kingdom by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto has put the onus on Red Bull to perform in Saudi Arabia by insisting they are still "favourites" for the title despite the Scuderia's dream start in Bahrain. After becoming embroiled in a thrilling duel with world champion Max Verstappen, during which the lead changed hands several times, it was Charles Leclerc who took the chequered flag ahead of team-mate Carlos Sainz.
JEDDAH: Carlos Sainz reminded Ferrari and their legion of Italian fans to stay focused and realistic on Thursday ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the second in the Formula One season.
It took three laps for Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc to show why he is a potential Formula One title contender, heading into this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Ya de noche cerrada en Sakhir se escuchaba un rugido en el paddock. Eran los mecánicos de Ferrari, esperando que los pilotos terminaran sus compromisos con los medios para unirse a la foto triunfal del equipo frente al hospitality. Cuando Charles Leclerc y Carlos Sainz aparecieron por allí con sus trofeos el estruendo estuvo a la altura del doblete. Había mucha rabia contenida en todas esas gargantas que no tenían nada que festejar desde Singapur 2019. El triunfo del monegasco en el GP de Bahréin, seguido del español, despierta de una pesadilla a mecánicos, ingenieros, pilotos y 'tifosi'.
Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto said finalising a new deal for Carlos Sainz is only a matter of putting it in writing, as they believe they have come to an agreement for him to continue with the team.
Formula One fired up for a new season in Bahrain on Sunday, 98 days after last December’s contentious finale in Abu Dhabi.
Ferrari are close to confirming a new deal for Carlos Sainz to ensure the Spaniard remains with the Maranello team for the foreseeable future. Mattia Binotto revealed that a verbal agreement is now in place, and all that is needed is for Sainz to put pen-to-paper.
