Max Verstappenn, Carlos Sainz bows out
The words of Carlos Sainz
Max Verstappen seems unbeatable and Carlos Sainz, like all his rivals, now has only to bow down: "If there’è something that Max has never lacked, it has been the expectations around him. I think he had them even well before his Formula 1 debut: even when he was in F3, he already had" much of a following".
"In his first year in Formula 1 he made a splash, so it doesn’t surprise me at all. Since I debuted with him in 2015, eight years ago, I always saw this load of expectations. And I understand it, becauseé è a special talent and a driver who has done really well from’the beginning".
Giancarlo Minardi, on the sidelines of the Historic Minardi Day staged over the weekend in Imola, spoke exclusively to the microphones of Sportal.it: "The fans who come give us the stimulus to move forward and grow. We have increased the number of cars on the track, with 25 Formula 1 cars and 34 drivers who have made history. It's nice to see so many young people who were born after I left the circus who still show me so much affection".
"Liberty Media has changed Formula 1 by involving the younger generation. I hope that all this will bring forth the passion we have seen these days in Imola", he added on F1 today.
Current events chapter: "In Monza Max Verstappen will have" few opponents but behind there are four or five teams that will inflame the fight for the podium. Ferrari? If I knew what he has to do I would be the richest man in Italy. We need to work and maybe talk less. Leclerc and Sainz are two very good drivers, under contract. I don't dream of things that are unattainable and would serve no purpose. It takes a good car to make a driver great and vice versa".
Filling in on the parallel between Verstappen and Schumacher: "I don’t like to make generational comparisons. They are two champions, like others even before".
