Sainz, about his father’s possibility of FIA presidency: “I am his son, but this is an optimal candidate”

This weekend, F1 started the European Tour with Emilie-Romagna GP, in Imala. And after a great start of Williams, which is leading the central zone and fighting ahead of Ferrari in class and career in Miami, many issues should be made Carlos Sainz In expectations with respect to a race where most teams will bring evolution, not Williams, who is fully focused on the 2026 car.

However, at 11 minutes the press conference lasted, In only two of them he stopped talking about the single issue asked to this day: the possibility that his father Carlos Sainz SR, presents himself as a candidate for FIA presidency. The team leader needs to note that the subject needs to be changed, with only two minutes left to create other questions after Carlos has fully evaluated that issue.

“Obviously, We’ve been talking about it for a long time. Notably, I think this is something that didn’t really come from him. Many people in the paddock get it on their heads And he slowly began to consider it. And now he clearly thinks. I think the key is that a team or candidate has not yet been formed. I don’t know how to call it. But he thinks and depends clearly on how he can see and see his lace, he’ll go for it or not. So let’s see ”Carlos argued, believing that a future presidency of his father in FIA should not come up with any conflict of interest in him because he was an F1 pilot: “We are honest people.”

“I’m your daughter, so I’m slightly. Speaking from the most planned position possible, I do not enter the head of anyone who lived day -day karting with his son and knowing the roots of motor racing and karting like himWho made four or five years of karting to me. He made four or five years of cars with me how difficult, face and difficult stairs. She has been with me for 10 years in Formula 1. She has made 40 years of rallies and races. He makes a lot of mobility in Spain with the ‘Ponle Brake’ campaign. So someone who covers so many experiences in so many different motor racing areas … reaching the end of his career, obviously, in races and trying to find a way to go back to motorcycle racing what the motorcycle gave him. In my opinion, from the most intended position I can find, obviously your child, obviously an optimal candidate “He pointed to his father.

This is not his idea, but many other people from the paddock

“May he decide to do it or not, obviously it depends on him. But strangely, as I said, in reality, the idea didn’t come from me. He came from a lot of people in the paddock, putting it in his ear. So in reality he didn’t come from me, but the people who came to him and suggest it.

Tips or ideas

“I can only say that he is seriously considering him. As he said, he is examining all the options. Obviously, now he is starting to think about what team, what people are, what the individuals want to have on his team. He tries to understand how the election is reviewing everything and trying to understand how many people he should talk about. But he left it to him.

Part of the F1 policy can be removed

I think politics is a negative aspect. But I think that if there was a person who could eliminate his politics, my father could also be a bit, because he was usually attended to very basic rules of going into life and things. And I think why so many people went to her to push her to do it potentially. So there is politics, it may not be satisfied with that part of the task, but it is known that it is also part of it and needs to work hard.

Do not see conflicts of interest

“I’m trying to think about what I can do, but the truth is that I don’t see any way to see it. In any case, obviously, I’ll be careful. I’ll be careful because the last thing I want is my image or your career is broken by that situation. So in any case, we will do the opposite effect, you know, and I don’t see any conflict that there is the time you know that you know my dad personally.

“This is a very difficult job. You can’t be content with everything. Fans have complained on the social networks of this and that. You need to have thick skin. It looks better to do it in the sense that it has skin thick enough to deal with it. My mom, maybe not so much. It’s like, ‘Come on, now you’re close to retirement, give yourself a motorcycle.

Alebon misunderstanding in Miami

“Well, I was obviously not satisfied at that time and then I went straight to the factory to the Grove. We had a meeting, we checked all the transcriptions of the radio and at the time I explained exactly what happened, I understood the same team very fast, which was a simple communication error and misunderstanding of all the radio channels. Vowles said a week.

“So that’s the most important thing for me, that next time we have a competitive enough car to defeat some of the top teams, let’s continue to improve the entire aspect of operating communication to make sure we benefit it. But at the same time, that also came to Williams, to improve these things this year, if next year we will also have a more competitive car”

Possibilities of Ferrari in Icola?

I don’t think we see this, with equality in Ferrari in one of the first six races, you have a percentage there, more or less, how often should we be more or less in that fight. Especially a moment these teams are in the fight for the championship like these and start building their car and not us. There is probably a larger space that will be very difficult to close. But also in the central zone there will be improvements in some cars. So, I think the possibility of being again in that fight (with Ferrari) is relatively low. But I want to make sure that next time we are in that fight, take advantage of the weekend and improve and learn from Miami. “
