“Destroyed Ferrari”: Amid a Dismal Home Race for Carlos Sainz, F1 Veteran’s 3-Word Jab for the Scuderia Leaves Fans Berserk

The Spanish GP had an attendance of 280,000+, with mostly everyone cheering on the home heroes Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso. All that was visible in the grandstands was a sea of green and red. However, as the race turned from bad to worse for Carlos Sainz, an F1 Veteran’s 3-word jab at the Ferrari has left the Tifosi going berserk. What did the Veteran say?

The struggles for Ferrari just do not seem to end. After a mixed Saturday in Spain where Carlos Sainz qualified P2 and Charles Leclerc got out in Q1, the Sunday does not seem to bode well for the team either. Starting P2, Carlos Sainz was expected to finish at least on the podium during the race. However, the Mercedes suddenly seems to have found a lot more pace with the new upgrades as they look set to get at least one driver on the podium. 

Carlos Sainz was asked to pit early to try to undercut Lewis Hamilton, who was right on his back. Mercedes, however, did not pit the car until very late in the race, which meant both Russell and Hamilton had fresher rubber and faster car and easily overtook the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz. Things only got worse for the Spanish driver from there.

Sainz radioed his team, asking them to figure out the best way to beat Sergio Perez, who was then in P5 behind him. However, there was not much that Ferrari could do, as Checo had a better pace and eventually overtook him. However, Martin Brundle further rubbed salt into Ferrari’s wounds. When Carlos Sainz’s radio message was broadcasted asking for the way to beat Checo, Martin Brundle on live television, commented “Hire Adrian Newey”

The Scuderia fans went berserk over Martin Brundle’s three-worded comment on the radio message. Some chose to slander Brundle, while others chose to appreciate the wonderful mind that Adrian Newey possesses. Let’s see what the fans had to say.

Fans took to Twitter as they chose to express themselves over what Martin Brundle said on live television. Some suggested that the best way for Carlos Sainz to beat Checo is to either switch cars or beat him at an F1 game. Others suggested that Martin Brundle destroyed Ferrari and that Adrian Newey needs to be knighted for being one of the best engineers. Let’s see how the fans reacted on Twitter.

Then there were the ones who were against what Brundle said, suggesting he never said something like this about Lewis Hamilton calling him a biased commentator.

Whether Martin Brundle really meant is not certain. What is certain is that Ferrari is struggling big time and needs to buckle up as Mercedes seems to have found some new magical pace.
