Even in the hot and cruel world of Formula 1, what Carlos Sainz is going through in 2024 is a real rarity. And it may turn out that the real difficulties are yet to come…
Every day, from race to race, it is becoming increasingly clear that Scuderia Ferrari is becoming more and more competitive, the work of Frederic Vasseur is starting to bear fruit, and this could create the image of a team with a chance at the championship in the coming years. And Carlos Sainz is taking it quite hard, already…
"I am the kind of driver who actively tries to participate in the development of the cars. I live in Maranello, I try to support the development of the team, with all my effort, with every opinion I have I work to make us the strongest on the grid. When I joined the Scuderia in 2021, my goal was clearly to become world champions with Ferrari. This year it may work in the constructors' category, but it really hurts me that I feel that next year we could fight for the individual title, but then I won't be here anymore...
It hurts because I think I played a part in making it this far and developing to the point where the boys could be absolute contenders for the championship next year," Sainz lamented, and rightly so.
