A disappointing eighth place in Monaco after a race spent chasing Ocon, hoping for the podium. Podium that is still missing from Interlagos 2022. It was mid-November then, and the year had just put summer behind it. Today begins June and another is about to begin. The Madrid native hasn't tasted champagne for a long, too long time, for a driver like him and for a team like Ferrari.
What better occasion to get back on the podium, then, than della home race? His best result here is the room place obtained last season: the last step is missing to get into the top 3 and, even if it won't be easy, the Spaniard will try to make a gift to the Ferraristi and the home fans.
Sainz's words
In press conference, when asked about the atmosphere at home, number 55 answered as follows: "Special race for me, Happy to return home. It is a circuit that in the past he has treated me 'well'. Here I saw Ferrari for the first time, and now racing here with the Red is special. It makes me feel good to run around the house, it gives me more energy. The fans are here for you and trying to push and done here it is one of the circuits where I scored the most points".
The discussion then moves on to SF-23 and the updates scheduled for the Catalan round: “Since the update there will be a new path for make the car more drivable and consistent Sainz explains. It is the first step in a new direction".
