After the British Grand Prix, Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto emphasized that it is very important for the Scuderia that now both drivers can compete for victory, and a flag will be raised in Maranello in honor of Carlos Sainz’s success.
Mattia Binotto: “I’m very happy for Carlos, he has had to wait no less than 150 Grand Prix for this win, I told him: ‘I hope the next one doesn’t have to wait another 150 races. I think he deserved it, worked really hard to achieve success, and eventually the success came.
We do not intend to celebrate this victory in the team’s base in Maranello, because in a few days we have to go to the race in Austria and we have very little time to prepare. But this, of course, will revitalize the team, and in honor of the victory of Carlos and Ferrari at the entrance to our base, we will put up another flag – there will be three flags. It’s important to us.
But immediately it will be necessary to prepare for the next race, because new serious tests are on the program.
Overall, I hope Carlos is waiting for new wins. He is a great racer and now he will believe in himself even more. We now have two drivers who can win the Grand Prix – you couldn’t ask for better. If for some reason a rider can’t win then a partner will insure him, this is an ideal option that increases the chance of success.
When we invited Carlos we knew he is a strong racer who knows how to earn points and now he has confirmed that he is capable of showing the highest results.
Of course we are concerned about Charles Leclerc, because without the appearance of the safety car he would certainly have won the race. So we’re just as upset as he is. But it so happened, although Charles acted flawlessly, did everything right, and he will still have the opportunity to fight for victories.
To the words of Binotto you can add a comment from Carlos, who mentioned another important side of the success: “I was very happy that so many people were happy with my victory. First of all in the paddock, which even surprised me! I know I get along well with people, and it’s great that many wish me well.
This is very important for every person. Although I am a professional racer, I am also human!”
