Carlos Sainz gave a rather uninspiring answer when asked what his goal is for 2023, after a promising but eventually underwhelming season for Ferrari.
Back in March, things were looking great for the Italian team. Charles Leclerc won in Bahrain with Sainz just behind him, while Red Bull were suffering some early-season gremlins which forced both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez to retire late in that race.
Leclerc won again in Australia to make it two victories from three, while Verstappen again suffered a mechanical problem. With both teams around the same level for car performance, it looked like fans would be able to enjoy another titanic battle for the title like the one between the Dutchman and Lewis Hamilton last year.
