Sainz: “Behind Red Bull, from now on there will be changes in all races”

Carlos Sainz think the same number Fernando Alonso. seen in Silverstone This is a matter of time, due to the characteristics of the circuit. And from now on, race after race, the teams that make up the big chasing group red bull they should be alternated in front. The clear example that this may be the case is what happened in recent races.

After many improvements introduced by Ferrarithe red car had a lot of degradation and lack of rhythm Barcelona, this problem was solved in Canada and Austria, and at Silverstone it suffered again. For his part, Mercedes flew to Barcelona, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Canada and Austria and reappeared in the race at Silverstone. AND Aston Martin, after suffering in Barcelona, ​​​​​​​​was the second best car in Canada and melted in the fast corners of Austria and Great Britain. Drawing opposite conclusions after the race does not make sense. The trend is clear: every weekend, the fight for the podium can be different. Without Max and Red Bull there, superior in every race, the fight for the World Cup will be the most exciting and tight in many years.

“I really think it’s going to be race to race. In some races, the Aston Martins and the McLarens are going faster than us, others where Mercedes and I, another Mercedes just like in Barcelona… I think a year from now behind of Red Bull will be present. will be changes in all the races and the fight will be good ”commented Carlos Sainz, who finished in 10th position in the British GP, a race in which he suffered many breakdowns, something that punished him and forced him to stop earlier, that he was hurt by the subsequent entry into the track of a ‘Safety Car’ that made him lose some places.

“This circuit was not good for us. It was very windy and in two or three corners it was very difficult to drive the car and at race speed you pay for it. There will always be circuits that are better and worse than others and the this circuit, together with Barcelona, ​​​​is the most difficult for us”, added the man from Madrid.

COMPLICATED DAY

“There are days in F1 when things happen now. He’s not having a bad race. I think I had a good rhythm on the medium tire and then on the hard, extended that stint. I came here to try to overtake Charles, who was faster and had a good race, but in the end the safety car came out at the worst moment for me. It meant I had no tires and I fell behind.

HE PASSED THREE CARS AT THE END

“Checo happened to me, which is a bad luck that when you go with a hard and used tire, everyone is behind with medium and soft … and the car behind you is a Red Bull with soft tires …

“As soon as ‘Checo’ happened to me, I got the wheels dirty and I went backwards because of the hard rubber like that (he put his thumb on his neck as a sign of going to the limit) and as soon as it happened to I got into the position that I was going to finish either way.”

DEGRADATION

“When you see that Mercedes is doing you halfway through the race with soft rubber and we don’t want to see or touch it… it shows you that we keep crushing the tire and you also pay for it in terms of strategy.”

THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE IN HUNGARY AND SPA

“Maybe not. We have worked so hard to bring improvements to Barcelona,​​​​Canada and Austria that I find it hard to believe we will be able to bring another one before the summer. But yes, after the summer I think there will be. I think, as we saw in Austria, the car we have will have circuits where it will do well and circuits where we will suffer more and we will have to accept it. Now we should have finished 6th or 7th, which I think is where the car was, and a ‘Safety Car’ didn’t help us”.

IN HUNGARY, IT’S BETTER

“I think we will go a little better. It also depends a lot on the wind, on the heat, but we will be even better”.

NEW USED TIRES FROM SILVERSTONE

“I don’t notice any difference with the new tires and I don’t think it’s affected.”
