Surprise news for the future of Carlos Sainz, a meeting that changes the scenarios in Formula One for next season.
After Leclerc’s victory topped off by Sainz’s third place in Monte Carlo, two very negative weekends arrived for Ferrari. The Reds, in Canada and Spain, collected rather little. Both riders were out in Montreal, things went slightly better at Montmelò but the fifth and sixth places of the two standard bearers of the Red team are not satisfying. And the controversies also come back to the surface.
Rather vehement criticism from Leclerc, for two reasons in particular. For the strategy that didn’t worknot allowing him to gain positions compared to the starting grid, but also due to what happened between him and Sainz, with a rather “hard” overtaking by the Spaniard and also a contact between the cars.
The Iberian driver replied to his teammate explaining that it was a normal track dynamic, in which he simply took advantage of an error made by the other. Recently, the two reiterated that they are very good friends off the track and that there are no problems between them, but This is not the first episode of this type to occur.
Events that they weighed down the atmosphere at Ferrari a bit, where the start of the season had been quite positive. Now, the feeling is that McLaren has overtaken the Reds in terms of competitiveness and that Mercedes is also starting to catch up. Leclerc, Sainz and the staff are called to react. Possibly without controversy, especially in the case of the Spaniard, to say goodbye with a smile at the end of the season, when his experience at Ferrari will end after four years.
