Carlos Sainz made the switch from
McLaren to
Ferrari this year. There he will join the team of
Charles Leclerc, who is already completely used to the car. Sainz knew this in advance and decided to come to
Ferrari anyway. He likes the challenge.
With Toro Rosso, Renault,
McLaren and Ferrari, Sainz already has quite a few teams on his CV for a driver who has only been in the sport for seven years. The Spaniard made the move from McLaren to Ferrari, where he has to compete with Leclerc. Sainz has looked at this, but is not worried.
With those statements, he is then of course immediately asked to compare Charles to
Max Verstappen and
Lando Norris.
''Any driver you put in a Ferrari next to Charles now will have a hard time in qualifying because you already have three years of experience. However, if you go to Red Bull it will be very difficult with Max as well, and the same goes for Hamilton at Mercedes and Lando at McLaren. Those guys perform best with their car because they have experience with it,'' concludes the Spaniard.
