Carlos Sainz: In Formula 1, everything is relative

      Carlos Sainz expects that Williams will be able to improve during the April break. At the same time, the Spanish driver admits that the team's results at the Miami Grand Prix may not change if their rivals make the same progress as they do in Grove.

      Carlos Sainz: "I expect that during the month-long break the team will make every effort, and in Miami we will take a good step forward. At the same time, in Formula 1, everything is relative. You can make a big step forward, but if your rivals make the same step, then you remain in place.

      At the moment we are three tenths behind the midfield teams. So the task is to achieve more progress than the other teams.

      The team understands perfectly that it is necessary to reduce the weight of the car and add downforce. Let's see how much we can achieve before the Miami race."
