Contained joy, because the joys of Saturday in Formula 1 have an expiration date. But Sainz believes that it is not impossible to beat Verstappen at Monza, that not all races have to be the same. Red Bull has the advantage in the race, they have opted for a wing that is not very efficient at one lap that should allow them to take better care of the tire than Ferrari. But Sainz leaves driven by the breath of a circuit and grown by the pride of dressing as a Ferrari driver. It is in that weekend in which he leaves everything.
Now what, Carlos? The Monza hero responds to AS: “Let everything continue to come out. I’m going to try everything, I’ll try to get a good start and a good first stint. I will try to take care of the tyres, which is where Red Bull will squeeze us. And then try to nail the strategy, the ‘pit-stops’. Try to do a perfect job. If that gets us the win, great. And if not, I wouldn’t be surprised because the Red Bull is half a second faster than the others. But I am optimistic and positive, so far things have turned out. You have to keep dreaming.”

“Nothing is impossible when you start from pole position”
“I think it can happen. Nothing is impossible, especially when you start from pole position. If I get a good start, I’ll try to do everything I can to stay ahead of Max. They have been faster in 100% of the races this year and that makes me think that it will not be easy. But something can happen, we may have a particularly good day. I am going to try, I will drive to win the race and then I will adapt to the circumstances of the race and the car, ”Sainz confessed to this outlet following taking fourth pole position in his race. He signed three with the fastest lap (Silverstone and Austin 2021; plus this one) and another due to Max’s suspension (Belgium 2021).
Carlos confesses that there was not much to think regarding before beginning the return of his life. “I don’t know if the best, but one of the best… all you think regarding is where the braking point is in the first corner, at 340 kilometers per hour, which is hardly visible with these cars.” And he comes down to earth when he remembers that Red Bull has won all the races in 2023 and Max is also the favorite this Sunday: “It is realistic to think of victory because I start from pole position, but it is also realistic to say that Red Bull is untouchable this year ”. But everyone already knows that. The beautiful thing regarding sport is that what most expect does not always happen.
