What did Carlos Sainz say?

As quoted by Formula Passion, Carlos Sainz reveals he is as aggressive as Charles Leclerc but at the moment he is still understanding his SF21.

“I arrived in Ferrari without expecting too much, without putting too many expectations on myself. On the other hand, I had a day and a half to learn the car. I think I did 150 or 200 laps before the opening race,” said Carlos Sainz.

“In fact, with Charles, we are much more similar than you can imagine. If we look at the data, we see that one is better than the other by three cents on one curve, but three cents slower on the next.” (Quotes translated via Google)

I’m really happy for my former engineers: Sainz after McLaren won the Italian GP

Carlos Sainz, who has spent two years with McLaren before replacing the four-time world champion, Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari, reveals he is thrilled after McLaren won their first race after the 2012 Brazilian GP.

Daniel Ricciardo ended McLaren’s 170 race losing streak at Monza. In addition, the Woking-based secured their first 1-2 finish after the 2010 Canadian GP.

“I’m really happy for my former engineers and the other people I worked with. I know how hard they worked for it. They have had tough times, and it’s nice from a historical point of view that McLaren wins again,” said Sainz.

With this result, McLaren moves past Scuderia Ferrari to the third position in the Constructor’s championship.

“But unfortunately, they are fighting for third place in the Constructors’ Championship with us, and from that point of view, it was, of course, the worst possible result for us. But we are still within reach. They took their chance. Congratulations, but we will try to fight back in Russia,” concluded the Spaniard.
