Carlos Sainz It is in a state of plethoric shape. The Madrid driver took his third podium of the season at the Japanese GP. Of the three GPs he participated in, he went to the awards ceremony.
In Suzuka the Spaniard will have to fight hard achieve third place due to the extension of the second stint, he had to make up some track positions with fresher tires.
“Very happy with three podiums in three races. It was a very difficult podium, many drivers had to pass the track. We decided to take a long approach and go back to attacking at the end. At one point in the race I thought that everything was getting complicated and I could be behind Norris and Leclerc. But in the last stint with the new hard rubber I attacked and felt comfortable,” he told DAZN buses.
Despite the Spaniard’s good form, Sainz is still without a contract for next year. There is no shortage of offers so you need to end up reaching an agreement that sees the performance you are showing. Carlos is very clear about this.
You can look at it in two ways.. It’s a shame not to continue next year considering how good we are at Ferrari, with the mechanics and engineers, you can’t ask for more and get a little angry. On the other hand, it is true that it opens doors for me to go to another team to fight for the World Championship where we have been working for three four years at Ferrari. Now, it’s time to make important decisions, to find out what options are available. I am available and I am fast“, he says.
Closer to Red Bull
Sainz was happy that this year Red Bull is not behind in this Japanese GP compared to last year. In fact, the Spaniard emphasizes that it is important to highlight that they are closer to race pace than qualifying. In addition, he confirmed that without the fight with Norris he could stay close to Pérez and ask for improvements from those from Maranello.
“At the race pace level, I think if we add two or three tenths to the car it will allow us to keep up with Red Bull. They brought an upgrade here and now it’s ours“, he declared in conclusion.
