Carlos Sainz He left Ferrari in a big way, with a second in his last race in red, although the icing on the cake of decanting the crown of constructors in favor of Maranello is missing. Rl from Madrid could not put a single but at the end of his Ferrari era.
In statements to DAZN, Sainz summarized his performance: “We were still a little closer than we expected before the race. As I said, races have to fight for. Piastri left the race or had an accident at the beginning. suddenly in the first session , in the last laps of medium tires, I started to approach Lando (Norris) and I put myself in a position to try to make an undercut, and, the truth is, it was a success. a situation that “It gave gave us a bit of hope, but unfortunately, at the minimum we put on the hard rubber, McLaren and Lando were a step ahead and gave us no choice.”
“Even winning this race will not be enough to win the Constructors’ World Championship. We know it is very difficult and I think second is the best I can achieve today and I am proud to have had such an emotional weekend with there was a lot of pressure, we were able to get the most out of the car today,” he declared.
Balance of the year
“It is not an easy season. Starting the year with the news that I will not continue with Ferrari is a very difficult blow and doing 24 races in a team where I will not continue next year… . It has been quite difficult to year, because it is not easy to give everything to a team knowing that next year you will leave and also saw that many other drivers this year did not stay in their teams, how easy it is to get carried away and lose a little motivation, concentration and determination and if there’s one thing I’ve done this year is to keep it up and even though it wasn’t easy, I’ve endured it until the end and I think my best races have come at the end of the season. So, proud of that, and on the other hand, I wanted to finish with a Constructors’ World Championship for Ferrari, but it couldn’t happen and we gave everything.”
The support of Ferrari fans
“It was a tough year on a mental level. It’s never good to face a year where you know you’re going to be out at the end of that year. All the good years of all the athletes are with 100% team with a project for the future, pushing everything in the same direction, I noticed that I was with Ferrari the whole time but whether you know or not that you are leaving at the end of the year, it is something that does not suit you and It’s not easy to deal with. I tried to keep going to give everything, stay out “This and especially at the end of the season, to achieve that victory in Mexico and achieve some podiums is very good and a sign of strength that I think will help me in my next step.”
With what remains of 4 years at Ferrari
“I left McLaren at a very good moment of form. At McLaren I felt very comfortable and I had the two strongest years in F1 up to that point and I decided to go to Ferrari and make the most of it. I think I made the most of it and 4 victories came, which if I had not arrived at Ferrari would never have come and winning the first 4 races of my life with a team like Ferrari is something I will never forget, a memory I will take with me in my whole life “It allowed me to live unforgettable experiences and have the best moments as an F1 driver and finish with a good end to the season and almost fight for a Constructors’ World Championship, which would have been great.”
Your next stage at Williams
“Honestly, people can’t imagine how excited I am for what’s to come. People will find it strange, but this is a project that motivates me a lot. In my mind will help a legendary that F1 team like Williams is back.” to be a top team, and being a part of that is something that motivates me a lot. I know I won’t be fighting for podiums and victories in the coming years but it’s not something that worries me. I already have them, I reached them in Ferrari and the only thing I’m going to worry about is that this time lasts as little as possible in Williams and make the most of it.
