The words of Carlos Sainz

Carlos Sainz in La Repubblica spoke about his farewell to Ferrari: "When they told me I would not continue, I didn’t feel as appreciated as I would have liked. Especially for what I gave to Ferrari: I went to live in Maranello for four years, I took a house, I was in the factory working for this team trying to take it forward to win together".

"It was a tough two or three months between January and February, I went through a problematic phase with the announcement of Hamilton's arrival and my future changing,‖ he admitted.

Yet life è soì è a bit of a roller coaster. I quickly understood the situation, focused on taking advantage of the fact that I was still in the red suit. As long as ité be like this, ité giveé everything. It won&eò t change my way of working. I started with the podium in Bahrain and won in Melbourne right after the operation, è it was a very strong transition for me and my career. I was glad to see the team happy for me becauseé they know what I have experienced".

And now where will I go next; The question è d'obbligo: "&It&#39s a complex decision, I&#39m looking for all these things and not one more than the other. They are fundamental factors and that is why I need time, more than what people hoped for, to analyze the market, teams and people. When he has all the right elements, he will decide. I haven&#39t done it yet and I don&#39t know if it will happen before the summer break. I know I hold various teams in suspense and I thank them for their patience, but I have to have it too. This sport has taught me to be a little more selfish and to choose the best without rushing".

Closing remark on current events: "Ferrari is now two or three tenths short. We are talking about nothing and everything: losing them prevents you from fighting. Our rivals have developed the cars well, but we have not been able to find performance with our developments. Here we have a small modification to the bottom to solve the troubles of the last races. The capacity is there'è still if we do things right and find the right direction, but we have to do it soon and well, otherwise we will have to wait for the mistakes of others. The example is McLaren and Mercedes who have been able to develop and catch up".
