Sainz, prangka: "Ferrari won, I won and the decision was right"

Much has been said about what happened in the past British F1 GP. Mainly, in Italy, where some media, after the success of sainz and Leclerc’s fourth position, they punished the red team for their approach and didn’t understand how they didn’t choose Monegasque instead of the Spanish. They forgot to point out that Carlos, with his personality, courage and ability to read careers, stopped his team in the face of the strategy they wanted to implement, which could mean a blow to the foot that could leave them without success. stop inventing, he released on the radio, clarifying that what they were asking him to do, stay away from Leclerc at a distance of “10 vehicles” to defend him from Hamilton and Pérez was complete madness. He put the wall firmly and went for the victory, thus rescuing the tools of the transalpine team.

After the appointment, Leclerc was disappointed, though he hugged her Carlos and supported him in his subsequent celebration. But I want to win. He was seen talking intensely Mattia Binotto, who asked him to calm down. And in one week, Binotto and Charles shared a dinner. But more than that, Carlos wanted to emphasize that there was no problem with his partner and that “Charles was a gentleman.” And he wants to settle any controversy or criticism by clarifying that his decision was the right one.

“Well, Ferrari won, I won, so I’m sure it wasn’t a wrong decision. At that moment, in the car, I knew exactly what I was supposed to do. I knew I shouldn’t put Charles in a compromise position. , but also gives Ferrari a career victory, that’s the most important thing to the team and I think everything I’ve done makes sense. “

“I didn’t put Charles under unnecessary danger or pressure while passing him, I knew I could easily pass him on soft wheels. I won the race for Ferrari and I think in the end it was a good result. So yes yes , I would do the same thing again and I think the team understood my position perfectly, that’s why they didn’t call again for the 10 cars (away) because they know that what I had argued during the radio commentary was totally valid, ” he added. , again showed his enormous personality.

“Si Leclerc, as always, behaved like the gentleman he is and the briefing was normal”, he argued about what happened after the race. “What happens when I have a bad race is a normal briefing and what happens when Leclerc has a bad race., It’s also a normal briefing. It’s one of the strengths we have as teammates and as drivers, included the team spirit we have at Ferrari. ”

“This victory has made me hungry to try to do it again as soon as possible and continue fighting for victories”, Sainz concludes, thirsty and hungry. Because of the win he was shocked and he didn’t want to stop doing it. He will try again this weekend in Austria, although at Spielberg, the Red Bulls are favorites.
