Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto believes his driver Carlos Sainz is “gaining confidence” in the team’s 2022 car, after the Spanish racer came home in second place at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix – his fifth podium finish of the season. Binotto believes that Sainz is getting “faster and faster” behind the wheel of the F1-75.

法拉利領隊比諾托相信，旗下車手卡洛斯·賽恩斯對2022賽車的掌控正變得“愈發(fā)自信”，尤其是在加拿大賽后。賽恩斯在加拿大取得了亞軍，這也是他本賽季第五次站上領獎臺。比諾托堅信賽恩斯和F1-75的組合正在越來越快。

“Honestly, it was not a surprise [that Sainz was the fastest man on track],” said Binotto. “If you look at the race sim on Friday, Carlos was very strong already and we were very close to the Red Bulls.

“說實在的，（賽恩斯拿下最快圈速）沒什么好吃驚的，”比諾托說，“如果你有留意禮拜五練習賽的長距離速度，卡洛斯非常有競爭力，我們和紅牛也很接近?！?/p>

“So, we knew we could fight; how much closer it would have been after Friday, no idea, but we know that our car is competitive. Carlos is gaining confidence with the car, he is driving faster and faster and it’s good to see that… he was certainly as fast, if not slightly faster, than Max.”

“我們知道自己足以一戰(zhàn)，雖然并不知道正賽里的真正差距，但至少我們清楚自己的賽車極富競爭力，卡洛斯也在不斷提速，我們很樂于看到這種趨勢。他真的很快，就算不是比維斯塔潘快一點，也至少是一樣快。”

Binotto also spoke about the performance of Charles Leclerc, who started the race in P19 after being penalised for making a raft of changes to his power unit.?

比諾托也提到了勒克萊爾的表現(xiàn)，摩納哥人由于賽車在動力總成方面替換了大量部件，在正牌中被罰退至19位發(fā)車。

“It was something we decided very soon after Baku [to take the power unit penalty],” said Binotto. “So, it is something he has been aware of for many days, to adjust and prepare for the race weekend, he knew he would be starting from the back of the grid today on the race.

“（替換動力總成部件，接受處罰）這是我們在巴庫就決定好的，”比諾托透露道，“所以這事夏爾也早有準備，他知道這場比賽會被罰退到隊尾，對此早有應對?！?/p>

“But finally, limiting the damage, starting from the back, finishing fifth is still a good race result and I know he’s got fresh power units for the next races certainly. We’ve got four races until the summer break – that will be important to him where he can attack, and let’s try to somehow recover some points if we can.”

“最終我們有效得止損，從最后上到第五，這樣的結果還是不錯的，而且我們清楚接下去的比賽中他將會有狀態(tài)嶄新的動力套件。離夏休還有四場比賽，夏爾可以嘗試發(fā)起攻勢，這對他很重要，讓我們看看是不是能在積分上有所反彈?！?/p>
