Ferrari struggled during the Canadian Grand Prix with both their drivers having to retire from the race to round of a miserable day. Charles Leclerc had some issues with his power unit. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz spun out, making way for Alex Albon’s car to crash into him. Ultimately, not a single Ferrari finished the race. An argument can be made that Ferrari emerged as the biggest loser of the race after their heroics in Monaco.

Lady Luck hasn’t smiled on Carlos Sainz as he still looks to impress a team for 2025. And now it feels like people are turning on him. At the Canadian Grand Prix, Sainz faced some inconvenience before spinning out on track. This incident could also have led him to not be able to race. The incident that Rebecca Donaldson shared shows how sometimes even being a Ferrari F1 driver does not familiarize you to everyone in the world.

Carlos Sainz almost found himself out of the Canadian Grand Prix before the race because of mistaken identity

Rebecca Donaldson tries to make it to every race weekend to show support for her boyfriend Carlos Sainz. On the day of the Canadian Grand Prix, she uploaded a picture, along with a story, sharing how security stopped the Ferrari driver, expecting him to be a fan who got past the guards.

The guard did not buy Sainz’s story of being an F1 driver. Moreover, he tried to have the F1 driver removed from the area. However, the Ferrari driver handled it perfectly and found himself in his car at the starting grid. This just shows that no matter how famous you get, there will always be people who won’t know you.

But in this case, Carlos Sainz is an F1 driver and the security team for such an event should know about one of the most important people in the sport. That being said, it was resolved quickly and Carlos Sainz managed to start the race. Now, everyone knows that just starting the race is not enough, finishing it is, and Ferrari couldn’t do that with either of their cars. So here is what Sainz said about the result of the race.

Sainz has his say on the Ferrari DNF in Montreal

When Carlos Sainz made contact with Alex Albon, both drivers ended up not finishing the race. However, right after the incident, Sainz managed to drive away before realizing that it would be very risky to drive the car. About the performance that broke the heart of many Tifosi, the Spaniard said, “It was one of those races where the pace never clicked. We had some damage in the car from a couple of contacts that we had during that crazy race but there was never really enough pace today to make any overtakes.”

Sainz took fans over his experience in Montreal, saying, “I think Canada was a bit of a one-off, a bit of a special one and we need to understand what happened as a team. There was clearly something the others were doing in qualifying with the tires to prep them better.” This is just one race in which Ferrari has had no drivers finishing the race and they can still make a comeback. Lucky for them, Sergio Perez had a DNF, which means the only points scored in that race was by Verstappen from Red Bull.

The gap between Red Bull and Ferrari has widened, though, and if Ferrari is looking to win the Constructors’ championship, they need to work harder. With that said, do you think Ferrari has a chance of beating Red Bull this year? What did you make of the hilarious story involving the Ferrari driver? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
