Carlos Sainz, addressing the press in the paddock of the Autodrome in Sao Paulo, could not help but highlight the alarming reports from Valencia and other provinces of his native Spain that perhaps the worst natural disaster in more than half a year experiences. century.
“I just want to sincerely support all the families in Spain who, after everything that has happened, are now going through terrible times,” said the Ferrari driver. “We all have friends in those parts, and I don’t even know how much we all have to do to bring them back at least some joy in life.”
Ferrari is now on the rise, but speaking of two successful races in a row, one won by Charles Leclerc, the other by himself, Carlos recalled: “In Austin and Mexico City, on the circuits where we won, our rivals from McLaren during the race – moments were faster than us. Therefore, we must remain calm and realize that we are also dependent on them to some extent.
We continue to modernize the car, we have improved the aerodynamic efficiency, and thanks to the new front wing that we introduced in Austin, the SF-24 is more stable, we have added downforce, and this simply allows you to drive faster on all terrains. types of tracks, under all conditions. And after Austin I already understand better how to work with tires in qualifying mode.
We are building a very strong team, and I am sad that it will all be over for me at the end of the year. I won’t be at Ferrari in 2025, so I hope we win the Constructors’ Championship this season.”
Sainz also commented on the very questionable tactics used by Max Verstappen in his confrontation with Lando Norris:
“It doesn’t surprise me, but he is trying to do everything he can to keep the loss of points to a minimum. But at the same time, the two ten-second penalties he received became a kind of signal that the stewards sent him, making it clear that they were closely monitoring his actions and wanted the fight for the title to have a correct sporting character.
I think Max understood this signal too. He knows that in our sport you can’t go too far, because in the end you have to pay for everything.”
