“I’m disappointed”: Carlos Sainz angrily criticizes Fred Vasseur and his team for a costly mistake.
The unpredictable nature of F1 racing was on full display as Carlos Sainz experienced both triumph and disappointment. After a glorious victory in Singapore, Sainz and his team faced a sobering reality check at the Japanese GP. Despite starting in sixth place, Sainz showed impressive skill and determination on the racetrack, but ultimately finished in the same spot, ending his streak of success from the previous two races.
However, Carlos experienced some exciting moments at Suzuka, one of which included his skilled overtake of Checo Perez. His battle with his idol Fernando Alonso was like a cinematic masterpiece, as the two skilled drivers raced side by side through the Hairpin to Spoon corner. Sainz’s Ferrari once again proved its impressive speed and emerged as the winner.
Unfortunately, even the most well-orchestrated symphonies can hit a wrong note, and for Sainz, it happened during the final pit stop. Despite maintaining a four-second lead over the car behind, he emerged from the pit stop eight seconds behind. Sainz expressed his disappointment at the team’s strategic decision after the race, stating that they had better pace than Mercedes but were undercut before the final stop.
However, we maintained a fast pace throughout the race and managed our tire wear effectively. After experiencing some issues yesterday, I felt more at ease with the car and was able to push and conserve my tires. Overall, I am satisfied with my performance.
Carlos commented on the pace of the race.
