Carlos Sainz continues his set-up with Ferrari on the asphalt of Fiorano.

The Spanish pilot rode aboard the 2018 SF71H for the second day in a row.

"Morning race", wrote the Scuderia on its Twitter account, attaching some photos of Sainz, who signed with the Italian team until 2023, on board the car and exchanging opinions with the mechanics.

"Every team goes through difficult times, it is what Formula 1 has, but what counts is the ability to react. History shows that teams that have won in the past are capable of being competitive again. The Scuderia is the most winning team in the history of our sport. If there is a team that can return to the top, it is Ferrari, "said Sainz in statements provided by his team.

"I have complete confidence in the project and, even if we take a while, I know that in the end the team will win again. What is certain is that I will do everything to make this waiting time as short as possible," he added.

After his second day as a Ferrari driver, Sainz expressed his pride in fulfilling a dream he had had since he was a child.

"When I was ten years old, I went to the Spanish GP in Barcelona and I was lucky enough to meet one of my heroes,

Michael Schumacher

, and to visit the Ferrari garage. The atmosphere was simply unique, there is nothing like it. I think that The easiest way to describe what it means to be part of Ferrari is that I achieved the dream I had as a child, "he said.

"Wearing the red suit and driving for this team represents much more. As a driver it is an honor and a great responsibility, I am eager to live it," he continued.

"I don't think age is an important factor"

He is clear that Ferrari, whose last world title dates back to 2007 (

Kimi Raikkonen

), must triumph again and stressed that their ambitions are exactly the same.

"From the first day I started kart racing, I had two goals on my mind. To become a Formula 1 driver and win the world title. After getting the first one, all my energy is in trying to get the second. and there is no better place than Ferrari to achieve it. The ambition is to help create a winning team, return the Scuderia to the top, where it deserves, and win the title, "he said.

Ferrari made an ambitious bet, by forming the youngest couple of Scuderia drivers since 1968 (Leclerc-Sainz), for the World Championship that starts on March 28 in Bahrain, which is the youngest of the Italian team since 1968. " I don't think age is such an important factor. Maybe experience is what counts the most in this sport. I am only 26 years old, but I have already done several seasons in Formula 1 and competed in three teams before reaching Ferrari. Charles is 23 years old, but he will start his fourth season, his third at Ferrari. What I mean is that, despite being young, we are not rookies and we know what it means to compete for Ferrari, "said Sainz.

And he concluded with a message to his fans: "I want to pledge my utmost and complete commitment. We share the same passion and I will do everything to make them proud. I will compete with all my heart in every race and I will work hard to help my team improve. as fast as possible ".
