Ferrari might have given Carlos Sainz a minor heart attack with their recent Instagram post. As Sainz scrolled through his homepage, the 28-year-old was welcomed with a shady post that had him worried about himself.
Giving the fans what they want, the Scuderia Ferrari social media team posted a couple of black and white pictures of their dynamic duo. However, the entire message got lost as both fans and Sainz had to look twice to understand what they were seeing.

Sainz identifies Red Bull’s weakness
Over the pre-season testing, Red Bull was named the clear favorite for the championship. However, Sainz is willing to give up on the fight just yet. Trying to find a loophole, the Spaniard explained, “It’s part of the evolution of our cars, trying to make it less draggy and try to get close to Red Bull on the straights.”
While planning to attack his rivals on the straights, the Smooth Operator takes this strategy with a grain of salt, because the possibilities are endless. Red Bull continues to develop their beastly challenger, which will only pose a threat to its rivals in red. Sainz concluded, “I hope that we can be closer.”
