Even in the fast-paced and brutal world of Formula 1, it's a curious question what Carlos Sainz will face in 2024. And the worst may be yet to come...
In fact, day by day and race by race, it's becoming increasingly clear that Scuderia Ferrari is becoming more and more competitive. Frederic Vasseur's work is beginning to bear fruit, projecting the image of a championship contender in the coming years. And Carlos Sainz is already taking it rather badly…
“I'm the kind of driver who actively tries to get involved in car development. I'm at Maranello regularly, so I try to contribute to the team's development with all my strength, working with all my input to make us the strongest on the grid. When I joined the Scuderia in 2021, my goal was clearly for us to be world champions with Ferrari. This year it might be possible among the constructors, but what hurts the most is that, based on my feeling, next year we could fight for the individual title, but I won't be here anymore…
"It hurts, because I think I've had a hand in getting us this far, and in developing to the point where the guys could absolutely be championship contenders next year," Sainz lamented, quite rightly.
