Even in the competitive and ruthless world of Formula 1, what Carlos Sainz will go through in 2024 is a curiosity. And the real challenge may still be ahead…
In fact, day by day and race by race, it's becoming increasingly clear that Scuderia Ferrari is becoming more competitive, and Frederic Vasseur's work is starting to pay off, suggesting that in the coming years they could be a team with a chance of winning the title. And Carlos Sainz is feeling the pressure quite hard, even now...
"I am the type of driver who actively tries to contribute to the development of the cars. I stay at Maranello constantly, so I try to help the team evolve, with all my strength, with all my feedback, I work so that we are the strongest in the field. When I joined the Scuderia in 2021, my goal was clear: to become world champions with Ferrari. This year, it is possible that we will succeed in the constructors' championship, but what hurts me the most is that, from my point of view, next year we could already fight for the individual title, but I will not be here then…
"It's painful, because I think I had a role in getting here and I've improved so much that the boys could really be title contenders next year." - Sainz complained, rightly so.
