Carlos Sainz says having a Ferrari that produces “less scares” this year has been key to his impressive start to the Formula 1 season.

The Spaniard is the only driver other than Max Verstappen to have won a race in 2024, and is just seven points behind his team-mate Charles Leclerc in the standings despite having missed the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on medical grounds. His strong form has made him a key player in the F1 driver market silly season for next year, having been linked with Red Bull and Mercedes, while Audi is known to want him on board.

“The car just seems a more stable platform that allows you to stay closer to the limit more often,” he said. “And that in then end means more confidence, and more confidence means better performance. “In terms of driving style and all that, it’s a very similar car to last year. We drive it in exactly the same way as last year’s car.
