Ferrari principal Mattia Binotto said the team is looking to improve rather than win third place for the constructors.
There is not only a deadly battle for first place in the league, but also between the eternal contenders, Ferrari and McLaren, for the bronze medal. For now, the British are closer to this, thanks to the two stronger Austrian weekends too. As for Ferrari, it is Lando Norris who is putting in an impressive performance and outperforming this year, and Carlos Sainz has previously said he believes it is impossible for them to compete.
However, the team boss stated that they are not at all interested in the designer’s third place, much more so in 2022 and the new generation of cars.
“The car is the same as it was in Bahrain. Third place is not our primary goal, the most important is to improve and develop as a team.” – seem Binotto.
“We are focused on next season. We’re paying for being late in the straights, which we’ve compared to a McLaren, but there are paths where we get stronger. We knew we would be slower in Austria, but in the end we only lost three points compared to them in two races.”
