Verstappen explained how keeping the tires alive will be an important challenge. Despite Max Verstappen’s boastful claims, it is believed that Carlos Sainz has a chance at winning the race. Former Ferrari boss Peter Windsor explained how Carlos Sainz is in good form at the moment and might as well go and get the win for himself and the Tifosi. 

According to Peter Windsor’s YouTube video, he said, “I would say right now, that Carlos Sainz is in really good shape. Because if he’s doing that kind of a lap time, it appears, he’s going to back away from that limit and start looking after the tires in a way that a Ferrari driver hasn’t been able to do for a long long time. There’s quite a significant advantage in terms of Lap time. Because of the top speed and the way the car has been set up and he can start to look after the rear tires”
