Carlos Sainz gave a recital at Monza, but was left without a prize. Starting 18th with the new engine in front of his fans, the Spaniard made 15 overtakes in just 13 laps, more than one pass per lap, significantly extending his first stint and then wearing the soft rubber, where he showed great speed. The Spanish ensured the Spanish press was present in the Monzatheirs MDwhich the simulation indicated would have reached George Russell on the last lap and he was obviously going to pass because of his skill with the tires. However, a ‘Safety Car’ driven too slowly meant the Spaniard was left without a prize. The race ended after the safety car and he was left wanting a re-launch where he was sure he could pass Russell and would have fought with Verstappen Y Leclerc. Carlos he prefers to see the glass half full and keep his comeback, with overtaking of all colors, his good speed on the soft rubber, which he defined as “a good sign” and in the options that think he will have in Singapore with a new engine. .
IF ANY IS ISSUED
“Passing George and fighting with Max and Charles there, which would have been very good. I thought the podium chance was clear there, although it could have been different if something had happened. It was a good race, I think you cannot do more than you can do”.
CHANGE THE RULE AND STAMP A RED FLAG WHEN THERE ARE A FEW TURNS LEFT?
“If I’m the leader, no (laughs). If you were in my position with Charles (Leclerc), you would prefer the red flag. For me, the fair compromise is not having to be there for 5 or 6 laps to get out of the car. It seems to me that we are very slow in recovering the vehicle. I don’t know if the race director can do anything else. Letting go of the ‘Safety Car’ earlier to catch Max and Charles… for me the whole process is slow and we need to improve as a sport. The red flag? Yes, it’s better than it is now, for sure, but the fair trade-off is to be faster in getting the car.
THE PROCEDURE IS WRONG
“I don’t know if it’s a ‘Safety Car’, a race director or a tow truck. Something happened where it seemed certain that we would have two or three restart laps, but for some reason, everything took longer than expected and in the end there was no race”.
PODIUM
“I think I will make the podium. Not to throw away what I did, but with the speed I had and the new tire, George had already used something, the podium I think was within reach and even more because I would have been able to compete. Verstappen and Max for a few laps”.
FRUSTRATING MOMENT
“Gradually, it’s more depressing. In principle, the ‘Safety Car’ is fine because I’m fighting not just for the podium, but for something else. And then I thought: ‘How slow it is, how slow it is’, and then… ‘there will be no race’ and ultimately no race. It’s disappointing, but it is what it is.”
THE RETURN
“I was able to return earlier than I expected. Yes, it’s true that when you get fourth, the leaders are just a pit stop away. And this is a chore. But I hurried quickly and I was able to return quickly”.
THE SIMULATION INDICATED THAT I CATCHED RUSSELL ON THE LAST LAP
“The simulation indicated that it will come in the last lap. I can assure you that when I come to the last lap, I will throw myself, because there is nothing to lose and because I know after 15 overtakes that I have done today I know how to throw the myself and how to brake and what to do. George was on the ura and I was on the soft, under braking I had a tighter grip… I was about to throw myself. But we’ll never know.”
YOUR OVERTAKE
“Passing Pérez on lap one was important. Walk in the Parabolica, a McLaren (Ricciardo) in the Ascari… The important thing is that with each overtake I didn’t lose time, I didn’t stop myself and that gave allowed me to pass the next one on the next lap without having to do it. two laps behind the other. Every overtake I made brought me a lap.”
HIS BEST RACE OF THE YEAR
“Now Yes. I’m studying pace and I’m running fast. I think I’m running at a pace about the same as Charles, who this year is struggling with his pace. Did the same or faster today, so I’m happy. This Ferrari ran everywhere.”
FIRST LONG STINT
“I did a very long stint, but I already had the left rear tire after 15 overtaking. I was a bit on the side. When I put on the soft tire I did a good stint and pushed. We were very fast on the soft and that was a good sign.”
THE MOTOR
“The engine is not a problem this year because it drives very well. reliability? It’s still a long way off, but we put in a new engine that will definitely give us a fighting chance in the next race. Singapore? Well, I think I.”
THE RHYTHM OF RED BULL
They run fast. If two Ferraris can be on top, at least one Ferrari is doing what Max is doing and the other is doing the opposite and so Max is under pressure and Max is not doing the opposite to you and won the race. I think this weekend we lacked with Charles out there and putting Max under pressure.
