MADRID, 12 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) was happy with the sprint race this Saturday in Brazil, where he was second, but regretted dragging a sanction of five places ahead of the Grand Prix this Sunday, where he will go “attack “.
“It went well. We had a good race, a good start. Then it was time to defend a bit from Hamilton, who was coming very fast. The truth is that the Mercedes have been going very fast in the last few races, much faster than us in the race Then it was necessary to pass Max, who had to take risks because it is difficult to pass on the straight, “he said in statements to Dazn.
The man from Madrid started fifth and achieved a great second place in a fight with Max Verstappen (Red Bull), only behind George Russell (Mercedes). “It was a chaotic race, but a lot of fun. We fought well and it’s a shame to penalize tomorrow considering he would start second,” he said.
“Tomorrow I will go out on the attack like today, I have nothing to lose, but it is true that it is the story of the entire season. A weekend that I am doing well, that I am ahead, penalties and it will cost tomorrow. I will start seventh I will try to catch Leclerc and Sergio Pérez as soon as possible and get into that fight for the Top 5, although passing the Mercedes and Red Bull on the track will be complicated,” he concluded.
