McLaren have 'matured a lot' and gained confidence since I first joined, says Sainz

I agree with that but Sainz had a leader role at Mclaren. He was the no.1 driver in an upper midfield team making good progress towards the top and winning podiums. However, with Ferrari, he will be immensely pressured by Leclerc and at risk of losing his seat at all times. In fact, Binotto has already started talking of having Mick in his seat in 2023. Unless Sainz beats Leclerc in his debut at the team, things may be tough in the future. He doesn’t have the same comforts, advantages and security he had in Mclaren. Let’s see how things progress. I hope the best for all drivers. Focusing on good performance is all that matters to them right now.
