Carlos Sainz won his first F1 GP at Silverstone!

It had to come like this. With all he has labored for for this day to come, destiny is over Carlos Sainz achieved his first win in F1 at British GP after an incredible race, completely mad, full of plot twists that the driver from Madrid will never forget. Carlos is the winner of a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Historical. The second Spaniard to achieve this, 9 years after Fernando Alonso achieved so far is the last victory of a Spaniard in F1 (2013 Spanish GP). Also at Ferrari, the number ‘55’ was achieved a day after his first pole position, an incredible victory as he seemed completely defeated after three quarters of the race.

Carlos Sainz he had to pass Leclerc because Monegasque was faster and he had to defend himself against a Lewis hamilton born again approaching his most beautiful day. After an intense radio conversation ferrari, Charles he got what he wanted and started shooting in the first position. lewis marked the fastest lap and placed behind two seconds sainz. The race seemed lost for the Spaniard after a start where everything completely happened.

In the initial output, Verstappen happened to sainz taking advantage of the fact that it came out with soft tires and Carlos along the medium. But a massive accident zhou after pressing in between Russell Y gasly the race was stopped by the red flag. The Chinese driver sustained no injuries due to the ‘Halo’ and an hour later, the race continued with Sainz in first position as only one corner passed. That red flag gave Carlos a second chance. This time, both started with the middle rubber and Carlos He didn’t waste it, defending very well, with super strength, his position against the current champion.

however, Verstappen caught up with him taking advantage of a mistake by Sainz, which widened. Although the Dutch will end avoiding any battles for a problem with your vehicle.

A new career began. Leclerc came on with better speed and put pressure on the team on the radio. And the team pushed Sainz. The Spaniard chose to stop first when he was ahead so that Charles would have a clear path to the shot, but Monegasque’s pull into the group didn’t show that speed. hamilton It was dangerously close and Charles finally entered, exiting behind Sainz. And after a bad Hamilton stop later, Carlos returned to the lead ahead of Leclerc and Hamilton. Again, the pressure came from Charles on the radio in front of Leclerc’s better speed. Sainz let the partner pass and seemed to disappear. Hamilton had already caught up with him. But everything changed from one moment to another. The magic of Formula 1.

“You’ve stopped inventing!”

Esteban Ocon’s car had a problem that drove the ‘Safety Car’ on lap 39. Leclerc, in the lead, didn’t know what his rivals would do. Sainz takes the lead and enters the pits to defend himself against Hamilton, who will do the same, and attack Charles. And in the final highlight, the Spaniard did not hesitate even for a moment. At Ferrari they told him to leave the space with Charles of “10 cars”. But no one is going to have Carlos beard. He stumbled on the table. “Stop inventing!” he exclaimed. He grabbed the attention of them all and told the team that it would only hurt them, because Hamilton was just behind with the stick ready. “It’s faster than Charles”, he said, aware that he was wearing fresh soft tires and Leclerc was wearing hard 15-turn tires. He had to attack Charles no matter how much the team told him to stay away. And he went for it.

last attack

He hit the exit and went on Charles at first he. From there, a fascinating battle in between Perez, Hamilton and Leclerc It gave more wings to a Carlos who headed at a great pace towards his first victory.

Very good. A career with many lessons. The first is you don’t have to give up and you have to fight until the end. The second, that with talent, work and perseverance, everything will come. Carlos fought hard, against all odds at a complicated start to the season to fit into a car where he wasn’t comfortable while his teammate fought every weekend for pole positions and wins. It did not sink despite the fact that part of the Italian press saw Leclerc as the leader and accused him of taking the win from Charles to his ‘no’ to the team’s strategy in Monaco. It was a beautiful display of personality and race and that victory escaped him because of one lap. He needs to win. Now, those who oppose him for not being a ‘murderer‘, they have to change the language. Now he was in place, ready to shoot after the ‘Safety Car’ appearance, and he put it in the corner.

Alonzo, 5th

Second is Perez, hamilton 3rd and Leclerc was 4th after a very good last fight where Fernando Alonso (5th) will soon benefit to hold the podium. The man from Oviedo completed a great career without mistakes, with superb speed and took advantage of his chances to maximize his result again. The Spaniard was smart in the last ‘Safety Car’, which he took full advantage of to stop and take a position over Norris, who was 6th.
