Losing to Charles Leclerc at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz has a “couple of interesting theories” of how to chip away at his team-mate’s advantage.

One race into a season in which Ferrari could fight for the World title, it is advantage Leclerc after the Monégasque driver claimed the race win and the fastest lap point at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Sainz was second in Ferrari’s first 1-2 result since 2019.

It, however, could have been a lot different had the Spaniard held onto pole position having sat on provisional pole after the drivers’ first runs in Q3.
