Ferrari unveiled its F1 team and drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz ahead of the start of the new 2021 F1 season in which they are determined to bounce back after a disappointing last season they finished in sixth and the new SF21 will be unvelied on March 10.

Carlos Sainz completed the first laps in a Ferrari F1 car on the Fiorano track where he drove the 2018 SF71H in preparation for the new 2021 F1 season, which is preceded by never shorter pre-season tests of just three days.

Carlos Sainz will be behind the wheel of Ferrari's F1 car for the first time next week as Ferrari has prepared a five-day plan on its private track Fiorano, which will feature as many as seven drivers, including Charles Leclerc.

Ferrari F1 team boss Mattia Binotto revealed that before making an offer to Carlos Sainz they listened to all his radio messages he exchanged with McLaren to conclude what is his way of communication.

Former McLaren driver Carlos Sainz believes the team has progressed since he joined them from Renault two years ago and that after two great years they have a lot more confidence, and he wished them all the best in the future because they deserve it.

Carlos Sainz is very disappointed with his qualifying performance which put him in ninth place after being very fast in the first and second stages of qualifying, citing the poor out lap in which he was interupted by Mercedes and Ferrari.

McLaren's F1 team boss Andreas Seidl is disappointed that his team did not score points with both cars after a disastrous first lap for Carlos Sainz, but is pleased that they increased points lead over Renault in the constructors' standings with seventh place for Lando Norris.

Carlos Sainz will have to use second and last of the two allowed MGU-Ks for 2019 F1 season due to a failure that forced him to retire in the first race of the season in Australia.

Carlos Sainz was impressed by constant McLaren handling improvements on their 2019 F1 car MCL34 while the new 2019 F1 Renault engine feels a lot stronger than last year.

Renault drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz are a huge boost for their team's strength in their road to the top of Formula 1, says their technical director Nick Chester.
