Sainz: "I want to help Ferrari achieve the Constructors' Championship!"

2024-10-29 Sainz: "I want to help Ferrari achieve the Constructors' Championship!"

After the Mexican Grand Prix, many are scratching their heads wondering if Carlos Sainz will really be let go at the end of the season? Yes, he will be let go, Lewis Hamilton is coming in his place, but Sainz is handling all of this like a pro, with his head held high.

And he is making his farewell more beautiful with victories. In fact, he would prefer to say goodbye to Scuderia Ferrari with a constructors' championship win:

"This has been a very strange, challenging year for me. It started off tough, we weren't really competitive, the development was slow, and then suddenly we managed to get to where we wanted to be. We suddenly became contenders for victory again, but Charles Leclerc was able to take advantage of those opportunities, although I really wanted to win too. I didn't want to leave Scuderia Ferrari without a victory. At the beginning of the year, it would have been easy to lose my motivation, my enthusiasm for going through all of this. But fortunately, just then, a three-week break came, during which I managed to recharge, to become determined again. For the last five or six races, I managed to get myself together, I improved my racing, I can trust the car more now, and I am proud of how I handled this. Now, I am solely driven by the desire to win the constructors' championship. It would be a perfect farewell on my part!" - said the Spanish star.
