Carlos Sainz has made a significant prediction regarding the Drag Reduction System (DRS) in Formula One. Many drivers have expressed concerns about the new DRS rule. In the past, drivers were able to increase their top speed by adjusting the rear wing gap after the second lap. However, the new rule now allows drivers to use the DRS after the first lap of the race. This change has had a significant impact on the strategies employed by drivers, particularly during street circuit races.
Carlos Sainz, who had a strong start to his last season with Ferrari at the Bahrain Grand Prix, is wary of McLaren’s potential threat at the Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. McLaren performed well in Bahrain, with their drivers finishing in sixth and eighth place. Their improved performance this year, especially on high-speed circuits, suggests that they will be more competitive in Jeddah.
Sainz, who previously drove for McLaren, believes that their expertise in high-speed circuits will give them an advantage in Jeddah. He also acknowledges the improvements made by Ferrari and suggests that they may be stronger this year.
