Ferrari F1 Boss Makes Mockery of Carlos Sainz as the Spaniard Puts His Painful 150-Race Streak to Rest at British GP

Seven years and 150 races in the making, Carlos Sainz has finally won his first Formula 1 race. The Spaniard broke his win-less streak at the dramatic and eventful British Grand Prix. A host of people are celebrating Sainz’s victory and sharing the joy of the race win. And the Ferrari camp is obviously the happiest after the Spaniard. However, after his first win, Sainz has gotten strict instructions from his boss Mattia Binotto.

Binotto has instructed Sainz to get another win before his 300th race. Now Ferrari has two race winners and they need the race-winning mentality to beat Red Bull in the championship that Ferrari was leading, but were overtaken by Red Bull because of multiple errors.

However, there is positivity in the Ferrari camp after Sainz’s victory, and that is exactly what Binotto expressed. “Very happy, very pleased! 150 Grand Prix to wait for it. Now I said you should not wait for another 150 for the next pole and the next win,” joked Binotto.

He added, “I think he’s a fantastic driver, he’s strong, certainly will give him further more confidence and now we have two drivers who can win, it’s the best we can have.”

Ferrari now has a new race winner in their camp and they need to use Sainz’s confidence to take the fight to Red Bull.

But it was a race of mixed emotions for the Scuderia, as the race strategy for Leclerc put him at a disadvantage, again. Leclerc’s been aching close to multiple race wins but has been let down by either an unreliable car or a poor strategy.

Victory for Carlos Sainz but another frustrating weekend for Charles Leclerc

Binotto expressed the disappointment the entire team felt when Leclerc lost his lead after the safety car. This has become a trend in the last few race weekends for Leclerc.

“He certainly is as disappointed as we are because he was comfortably leading the race. Without the safety car, he would’ve certainly won and it would’ve been important for him knowing Max got problems today. So it’s frustrating, but it’s the way it is,” said Binotto.
