Scuderia Ferrari team scored 18 points on Sunday afternoon thanks to a fifth-sixth finish by their drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

By extending its lead over their nearest competitors, McLaren, to 31.5 points, the team makes a significant step forward in the Constructors' standings sitting comfortably at third. 

Leclerc comments, "That was a really nice race. We weren’t satisfied after the Sprint Qualifying yesterday, so we worked hard last night to analyse where we could make some improvements."

He adds, "And that’s what we applied today, so I am very happy with the performance. I had a very good start, which was my first target."

He continues, "After that, the race was all about managing the tyres well and maintaining the gap to those behind me."

He concludes, "It’s also looking good in terms of the gap we are building to our direct competitors in the championship, so overall, a very positive finish to the weekend."

With three Grands Prix remaining in the Middle East, the team is confident it can compete thoroughly for third place, the realistic goal for the rest of the season.

Taking part in three races on tracks that have never been used in Formula 1 means that preparing well for weekends will be even more crucial. Reliability will also be key.
