before that, to a question from Mundo Deportivothe Spanish pilot showed himself optimistic about the possibility of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya renewing its current F1 contract after 2026 and that the presence of two Grand Prix in Spain is guaranteed from that date along with the one in Madrid (which will enter the calendar in 2026, sharing space with Barcelona).
“Do I expect Barcelona to renew for many years? Sure. “Nothing makes me happier than having a Spanish Grand Prix and I’ve been going to Barcelona for many years as a young driver and then 10 years in F1.”he declared.
“It’s a circuit that I love, that brings back great memories, and I’ll always be a big fan of the Circuit”he added forcefully after getting out of his car before giving his second exhibition on the streets of Barcelona, where he was surprised that they came together. 40,000 people to see him and the other members of the show: Jack Doohan, Pepe Martí, Mari Boya, Pedro de la Rosa and Marc Gené.
“Very good. It’s incredible to see a city dedicated to the event and the F1 GP. I didn’t expect to see so many people. Obviously it’s evolving and Barcelona showed it with so many people coming to us here with so many people, I’m enjoying this moment as much as I can,” argument.
“I was surprised. They warned me, but you’re always surprised by so many good vibes, so much support from the fans. It’s something that never ceases to surprise me.”added the man from Madrid in front of so many fans, that he did not hesitate to attend at many points in Plaça Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia, approaching the fence to stamp dozens of signatures on caps and t -shirt.
Want a home win
“I hope that this is just an appetizer of what is to come this weekend, that it will be a full house at the Circuit and that we can all have fun and dedicate victory to all these fans”Carlos Sainz directed the press who witnessed the event.
Later, after completing the exhibition, when he got out of the car he had words of thanks for the fans: “I hope to see you all on Sunday at the Grand Prix. I hope you all support us, we will try to win this race to dedicate to all of you. I hope I can give everyone a great weekend“.
“Last year we were close, since we started on the front row but we didn’t finish the job, and this year I hope that the car, the Ferrari, will go faster and we can win. After winning the Australia, nothing will be “more exciting than winning at home”he commented.
But far from ending there, Carlos Sainz had time to stop at the Fan Zone stage located in Plaça Catalunya and he even wanted to give a fan the chance to take the microphone and ask him a question. He had a great time with his people. Now he wants to top it off with a good weekend at the track. We will have to see how his Ferrari adapts to the characteristics of the Circuit, where Red Bull and McLaren start as theoretical favorites and where Mercedes is also expected to join the fight.
