The result leaves Sainz fourth in the drivers’ standings, 75 points behind world championship Verstappen, while Ferrari are 56 points down on leaders Red Bull in the constructors’.“For sure it is more difficult because we were about to cut the points to the leaders in the championship, both Max and Red Bull,” Sainz added.
