For the first time in Carlos Sainz’s sports career, the driver from Madrid has at his disposal a really competitive single-seater, capable of fighting for victories or podium finishes every weekend, an opportunity that until now he has not been able to take full advantage of.
After nine grand prix races in the 2022 Formula 1 season, the Spaniard from Ferrari has achieved five podium finishes, but his great goal continues to elude him: victory.
Of his five occasions in which he has managed to climb to the top 3, two of them have been in second place and, in the last Canadian Grand Prix 2022, less than a second behind the winning driver, the current world champion and leader of the World Max Verstappen.
At this start of the season, Sainz has been on the verge of victory on several occasions, but for one reason or another, he has not managed to climb to the top of the podium, unlike his teammate, a Charles Leclerc who has won two races and that could easily be twice as many were it not for the various reliability issues with the Maranello power unit.
In Montreal, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz were accompanied on the podium by Lewis Hamilton, one of the two most successful drivers in terms of titles in the highest category of motorsport, who merged into a hug with the driver from Madrid after seeing how he It was nothing to get his first victory in Formula 1.
Through the team’s social networks, Mercedes wanted to send a message to the Ferrari driver, showing their confidence that sooner or later, the barrier that separates him from the highest step of the podium will be knocked down.
“Your day will come, Carlos Sainz.”
The account of the Italian structure saw the publication and also wanted to respond, with a short and concise ” It’s coming “, referring to the fact that Carlos Sainz ‘s first victory in Formula 1 “is coming”, since his performances on the track so they deserve it.
Sainz himself also replied, in English, with “we will continue to push.”
At the moment, the #55 is in fifth position in the drivers’ standings, with a total of 102 points, that is, 73 units behind the Dutchman who has distanced himself in recent weekends thanks to his five victories. in six races.
Seeing these numbers, if Sainz wants to fight for the championship, his first and long-awaited victory in F1 should come sooner rather than later, as well as the second, the third, the fourth… If the highest category of motorsport has taught us something is that with still 13 grand prizes to play for, more than half of the course, no one can be left for dead.
