Carlos Sainz is already in his fourth season at Ferrari and has studied Charles Leclerc well over the years. The Spanish rider considers his teammate one of the fastest riders he has ever competed with.
Carlos Sainz: “Charles is, if not the fastest, one of the fastest drivers I have ever competed with. Especially when we talk about speed in one fast lap.
The team keeps track of all the stats all year round and his lap times from practice to race are pretty much the same – he is incredibly consistent.”
Carlos summarized his performance at Ferrari: “When I signed the contract, the team was going through one of the most difficult periods in its recent history. In 2020 they were over a second behind the leaders. I saw the state the team was in when I first joined them, and the state it is in now. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made and all the work we’ve done together.
We have had ups and downs: an evolutionary development in 2022, a slight decline in 2023 and a gradual improvement in 2024. With this team I achieved my first victory in Formula 1, achieved my first pole position and stood up many times the stage. “I am happy to have signed with a historic team and I have enjoyed being a Ferrari driver all these years.”
