A year ago, Carlos Sainz takes pole at the United States GP with a final turn where he overtook Leclerc and Verstappen. Although his joy took a curveball on Sunday, since a touch of George Russell left him. In the first of those memories a Sainz who approaches this appointment with ambition. Verstappen, with his red bull, is a favorite, and McLaren seems very strong. But Sainz, with his Ferrari, wants to be at the top. “I’m ready to be fully focused on what’s important and get back on the podium this weekend. I love this circuit”recalls Carlos, aware of McLaren’s strength, although hoping their cushion with respect to those in orange will be enough to retain third place in the Constructors’ World Cup against those from Woking.
“If we don’t have retirements, we will be able to keep McLaren behind, although they can overtake us in most of the remaining races, because their car is very fast”declared the Madrid native, recalling the disappointment of not being able to compete in the Qatar F1 GP due to a problem with his car that was spotted before the race.
“I also need to recover mentally after Qatar, where I did not compete. We are here in New York for an event, I really liked the atmosphere. Now I’m ready to focus on Austin and get back on track. In Lusail I was always thinking about what I could do on the track, then I realized that failure is not worth it… and it was.”commented the Madrid native.
“We have changed many parts of the car to correct the problem that stopped us in Qatar, a headache that the fuel tank gives us from time to time and we are trying to find long-term solutions.. There are things we are not happy with and we have had problems in the past,” he added about the setback that left him without a career at Lusail.
Now, two weeks later, he wants to wipe the slate clean and forget what happened in Qatar. A visit to New York a few days ago to hold an event with Leclerc and other members of the Maranello house helped him in that sense.. Sainz revealed that he had never been to New York and that he enjoyed it very much. He charges the attack on Austin.
