Carlos Sainz issued a defiant response to the Ferrari nay-sayers amid concerning reports about what is happening behind the scenes at Maranello.
Ferrari began the new season with just 12 points earned by Sainz in the Bahrain Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc might have finished on the podium had he not suffered an engine failure which forced him to retire and which has also led to a 10-place grid penalty for this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
But those things seem to be the least of their worries. Head of vehicle concept David Sanchez has already left the team and there are rumours that other members of staff are actively looking to move to other teams.
