I have nothing else to do. In the face of a storm, all you can do is take shelter and wait for it to pass as soon as possible. Carlos Sainz challenged him, he fought everything, but it was impossible. Verstappen this Sunday is a storm and Carlos can only be satisfied with third position behind Max and Pérez.
The Spaniard took pole on Saturday beating a theoretically faster Red Bull, Pérez’s. And this Sunday Carlos defended his first position at the start with a very good start, his team did not fail in the pit stops (both very good, 2.4 seconds) and there were no strategy errors. Ferrari’s race with Sainz is nothing to blame. What is wrong? That Verstappen is in another world. And point.
Therefore, after racing to Spa, Carlos Sainz highlighted the good execution of the race by his group, but the need to study the reasons why Red Bull are so good. And he is optimistic about what is to come, sincerely believing that the insulting superiority of Red Bull at Spa is only a matter of one day, of a particular circuit, and not a trend from now until the end of the season.
“I didn’t expect the race to be this difficult. I thought we would have a chance to defend ourselves, but the truth is Red Bull is in a different league now,” Carlos Sainz told ‘DAZN F1’.
“If yesterday they put us 7 tenths, today they put us, between that they had less degradation and they were faster in the straight and they were better in the second sector too, they put a lot on us every lap and we will have to study the reason. It tastes a bit bad after coming off the pole and you are leading after the first two laps,” he added.
UP TO LIGHT YEARS
“It’s like that. Today the execution was perfect: the start, the safety car, the stops, the approach, we made the right choices, but when there is no rhythm, there is no rhythm. There were many tires overheating. Where I tried to push and go Red Bull pace, the next lap was slower due to overheating. We’re pretty much locked in. I wanted to shoot but we couldn’t defend ourselves either. it’s a pity I prefer the podium, we had a solid weekend, a good weekend overall. And as a team, try to draw conclusions this weekend, which frankly I don’t think will be the norm for the rest of the year”.
