Carlos Sainz He begins the 2023 F1 course after possibly overcoming one of the greatest learning years of his career. The Madrid driver suffered badly at the start of the season when he found himself with a 2022 regulations car that was far from his driving style. He had to adapt, naturalize some aspects that were at odds with his riding. It was a long process in which he was able to turn his situation around. Pole positions came, his first win and on the last part of the course Carlos his partner is also performing at the same time leclerc. Now, he wants to start from the place where he left off in 2022, starting from a very good base to fight everything from the beginning in a car that in terms of sensations should not be far from last year. That’s good news for Carlos. He finished adapting to the car and must start the course with options for everyone.
However, before starting shooting, Carlos Sainz He wanted to put things in their place. In 2022 he had to endure many comments in the Italian press calling on Ferrari to prioritize Charles over Sainz. And Ferrari is said to have developed the car around the course to make Sainz better suited to it. For this reason, Sainz took advantage of a question from the MD at the Ferrari presentation to clarify that this was not the case.
“Last year some people said that the car went in my direction but it was not true. I can say this today and tomorrow. An F1 car is not built for one driver or another. An F1 car is made to be faster.”, the Spaniard told MD when this newspaper asked him if the 2023 car might suit his style better or might make it easier for him to adapt compared to last year’s car. There, in front of all the Italian and international press that came to Maranello for the presentation of the SF23, he showed character and personality by wanting to clear things up and point the i on a day when all the spotlights is in full red.
“My job as a driver is to give indications to the engineers where the car is fast and that is checked against the data, I give my feedback, Charles (Leclerc) gives his feedback, it is confirmed in the data, it was executed. and the car is faster. I hope the car is faster. We tried again this year,” he added.
“The only thing that matters to me is that the car is fast. The rest… obviously I had some difficult moments last year, with a car suited to a very specific driving style and I adapted .A little late for my taste, but I adapt. And the goal this year is to start better and adapt to any type of car.”concluded about it.
“I am optimistic and I am hopeful at this time of the year. The car is an evolution compared to last year. I think last year I finished very close to the car’s limit and performed at a good level, so I hope to continue where I left off and make steps in the right direction. I hope to enjoy a strong car at the start of the season. That is the objective”, added Carlos, sure that he can start at the top and fight for everything from the beginning.
