A Melbourne we have learned that life is full of contradictions, opportunities and limits that can be overcome. That even an illusion can become real if you wake up with the desire to take risks, to dream. That's exactly what pushed it Sainz and Ferrari towards their first victory of the season in Melbourne in the Australian GP. A result that Sainz himself defined as "unpredictable" as well as the life that smiled at him this weekend.
Sainz's victory in the Australian GP: a Ferrari double in Melbourne
A victory that started from an illusion, that of being able to attack a Red Bull team that seemed more vulnerable at Albert Park. An illusion that became real with the complicity of a really fast and beautiful SF-24 to look at, with Sainz's determination - which now more than ever is needed by the team, and an out by Verstappen which made Perez the only “evaluable” RB20 (with one deficiency). Sainz's victory in the Australian GP was achieved by suffocating pain, both physical and heartfelt, because yes, Carlos and Ferrari are close but also progressively further apart. That too is an illusion. Destined to change the future of both.
A success that comes from afar
The snapshot that Melbourne gives us is that of a possible scenario that we could see more often over the course of the season. Because today she wasn't alone in Melbourne luck helping Carlos and Ferrari. Of course, he gave that a little push but the one that brought Ferrari to the podium with both drivers is a push that comes from afar. From the first day this team started rebuilding. Rising from its ashes. And which will be useful especially in the darkest days of the season. Because those will come too. But this isn't one of those days. Today at Maranello as in Melbourne a beautiful sun shines.
