Even in the hectic and merciless world of Formula 1, it's a curiosity what Carlos Sainz will go through in 2024. And it could be that the real bitterness is yet to come...
Day by day and race by race, it's becoming increasingly clear that Scuderia Ferrari is becoming more competitive. Frederic Vasseur's work is beginning to bear fruit, and this paints a picture of a title contender for the coming years. And Carlos Sainz is already struggling with that...
"I'm the type of driver who actively tries to contribute to the development of the cars. I stay in Maranello permanently, trying to support the team in its development, and with all my energy and all my feedback, I work to ensure that we are the strongest in the field. When I joined the Scuderia in 2021, my clear goal was to become world champion with Ferrari. This year, it might work out among the constructors, but what hurts me most is that I feel like we could be fighting for the individual title next year, but I won't be here anymore...
It hurts because I believe I've contributed to us getting this far and developing to the point where the guys could definitely be title contenders next year," Sainz rightly complained.
