Carlos Sainz finish the Canadian GP satisfied with its performance. Finally, after a difficult start to the year because he found a car that didn’t suit his driving style, the Spaniard was able to drive comfortably in the race, at a great speed to combat Max Verstappen from you to you However, he may not be happy about the result. “That victory doesn’t come when you’re the fastest probably hurts more”, he pointed to the microphones ‘DAZN F1’ the Spanish after staying less than a second from Max in the race and tried everything he chased the Dutchman in the last 15 laps, stuck for several moments in the champion’s car. Carlos finally came in second. He could not blame himself for anything. He did everything he had to do, but he lacked a few keys to enter the vehicle Max and try it. Verstappen became strong thanks to his speed red bull in the straight and tail hit the last stretch, weakening the Spanish DRS.

“I am not satisfied. Too close to be satisfied. Especially with the speed I’ve experienced throughout the race, which is great. I became comfortable, all the time faster than Max. Strategy is very important and I think without the latest ‘Safety Car’ it would be hard for him to overtake me. I would have stayed until the end and I also didn’t get caught too quickly and I thought I could do it. Then the ‘Safety car’ came out and I had to stop. There I doubted between soft and hard, if this could happen on one of the two wheels. And we’re very fast which also puts a lot of pressure on Max, but not enough to switch to a Red Bull ”, the Spaniard pointed out.

SOME SOME TEN OF IT

“To pass a Red Bull you need more than half a second, or six tenths per lap. And we have three tenths and not enough to pass this circuit”.

THE BEST RACE OF THE YEAR

“It’s probably the first time in the whole year that I’ve been the fastest driver on the track in this race, and that success doesn’t come when you’re the fastest maybe more painful. We found a circuit hard to pass, especially in cars with similar speeds, there was a lot of tailwind in the back that was straight and the DRS did almost nothing because of the tailwind.The nice thing is we tested it all, which made me comfortable, I became fast and I think I became This is the best race of the season, yes, for sure “.

IBIGAY LAHAT

“I have pushed to the limit. I didn’t leave a millimeter on the wall. And under braking … I’ve been pushing with everything, with the battery … I tried everything to pass Max. But now we are missing the little delta of rhythm. We were missing there in the hairpin to catch that line before the chicane. We are very fast in the race but we need a little to catch up with him ”.

“I was happy with the speed of the race and I put pressure on Max throughout the race. I think we stopped at the right time, I tried everything, we were too close to win now. So I’ll take the positive and try more next time . ”
