F1, Carlos Sainz sends message to Ferrari after third podium

Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, who beat Charles Leclerc again in Japan on Sunday, avoids controversy with the Maranello-based stable, which did not confirm him for the next World Championship, choosing instead to bet on seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, coming from Mercedes.

"I’m not trying to prove anything in particular to Ferrari or some other team. I go to the track to win and to prove that when I have a car that is competitive for podiums and wins, I can get that podium and those wins. But until 2022 I have never had a car that can win races or regularly get on the podium".

"Has Ferrari made a mistake? Not è a thought I have when I wear the case. Of course, I do not deny that if I get good results, I hope to prove to everyone and myself first and foremost that I am a winning driver and that with a winning car in my hands I am not to be underestimated", are the words to As.

Sainz scored three podiums in the first four races of the World Championship (winning in Australia): the only time he didn't hit it è was in Saudi Arabia, the GP he didn't participate in due to his appendix operation.
