Here are the words of Carlos Sainz and Charles at the end of the Mexico City Grand Prix that saw a new triumph for Ferrari with the Spaniard winning and the Monegasque third, with the additional point of the fastest lap made on the last lap.
“È it was special to win here to soì many fans. Since Friday, I had good feelings driving the single-seater and I carried them for the rest of the weekend – said Sainz in interviews immediately after the race -. It wasn’t a good start mine, but I then managed to get in Verstappen’s slipstream and to overtake him you had to take risks. I managed to surprise him under braking and from there; my race è was of great consistency“.
“The car è proved to be fast and we confirmed ourselves in the fight for the constructors’ championship. I want to enjoy this final part of the season to the fullest and contribute to the success of the Maranello stable“, continued the Spaniard.
“The race è was difficult. In the first stint I suffered in terms of temperatures so I had to do a lot of management to avoid worse trouble – added Leclerc -. Anyway along the whole course of the weekend I always remained a little bit’ behind and I think today I could not have done better than third. Congratulations to Carlos author of a fantastic race and congratulations also to the team that completes a very good weekend”.
“We are working really well in the last few weeks and managed to get back to the level we all wanted. The fast lap in the finish? Even one more point can make a difference in the race for the constructors’ title. We are -29 from McLaren and we keep getting closer. We want to continue in this way in the next outings”, concluded the Monegasque.
