Carlos Sainz was about to win Monaco race in 2022, although he had to settle for second place on the podium after Checo Pérez: “With a little bit of luck I could have won last year. And this time the big objective is to get pole position, which is what in the end gives you more chances to win here, even though Red Bull are favourites”. Consider the pilot from Madrid.
Upon his arrival in the Principality, Sainz explained that Ferrari is approaching the Grand Prix with high expectations, but that the label of favorites is for the Red Bull: “I still think that they are the main candidates, because They don’t have any weak points and at this circuit they should be very fast again, as they were last year.”
All in all, the statistics in Monaco are very favorable for Carlos: “It is the circuit in which I have managed to score the most points together with Austin and Barcelona, which are my three talismanic circuits and that is something that I like to have in my record. For any driver to score a lot of points at a track like Monaco is very good and my intention is to keep scoring here“he warns.
Finally, Sainz philosophically fits the rumors about Ferrari’s astronomical offer to Lewis Hamilton so that he ends his career dressed in red. Rumors that by the way the head of the Scuderia has flatly denied Frederic Vasseur. “I was hoping they would ask me about Hamilton. I have been in F1 for eight years and at this time of year, if all the rumors had been true, we would all have been in a different team every year. I’m used to it and I continue to do mine as always”, he has settled.
