Carlos Sainz annoys many. To some extent it is normal. In his first season at Ferrari he beat a superclass like Charles Leclerc, ‘Il Predestinato’. The silent work of the Spanish, his dedication, his soul for never giving up and his calculating mind make his weak points reduce and his talent shines brighter. His garage mate was Ferrari’s number 1 driver at the start of this season. An immense start to the year, victory after victory and pole position in each round. World champion level. Charles has everything to win one day, he is a potential champion, but he is missing the crown. However, as the year has gone by, Sainz’s good results and how regular he is have caused the Madrid native to reduce the advantage. In Ferrari they assured that both were going to receive the same treatment. First, Sainz was criticized because he was not at the level, it was very difficult for him to dominate the F1-75. But, as custom dictates in him, the second parts of the year are comebacks, like his Real Madrid. Sainz never gives up, and whoever thinks he’s dead is wrong. The pole position at Silverstone was the turning point and from there on up.Those who criticized him for not fighting Leclerc did the same again when he got down to his level and he admits it has been “frustrating”.
In the middle of the season he took a huge leap
With Max Verstappen closing in on Leclerc’s lead, scores of tifosi and allies of the Monegasque driver called on the Italian outfit to back the then championship leader as their number one. Ferrari refused, insisting that both drivers would receive the same treatment.
