“I think it was exactly what I needed, a clean race. No issues, decent start for starting on the right-hand side; there was zero grip out there on the right side but I did a clean race," Sainz Jr said after the Miami Grand Prix. 
 
"I think I managed to learn quite a lot from the car, managed to complete a race distance that I hadn’t done two races in a row, so it was important. “It's not so much a relief – but it’s needed. 
 
"I think I needed to complete a race distance, to get the body back to shape, and also get the feel for the car on used tyres, high fuel.”
 
Ferrari are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-RBPT and Mercedes respectively.
