The flying Dutchman Max Verstappen he hasn't slowed down his pace not even in front of a world championship given to him by his rival, closing the games well in advance.
Praise to Max and Red Bull
Few like Carlos can boast the experience of seeing a star born up close. Since their days at Toro Rosso, Carlos and Max have been confronting each other with a knife between their teeth, even though even then the superiority of the Dutchman seemed evident.
The Madrilenian he expressed his opinion on the year of his ex-mate and the rival team, underlining their strength to get back up after a disappointing start to the season, and their tenacity to prevail in the technical and sporting battle: “There is no need to praise Verstappen further, he was good and his performances were high after a couple of retirements at the start of the season. They have been strong in areas where we have not been, he deserved. He has grown since he was in Toro Rosso, he has evolved in so many aspects. His merits must be recognized and his car is truly competitive".
Sainz talks about the short and long term
La Ferrari F1-75 is a car that gives its best in qualifying, e with his team-mate out of contention due to a penalty, Carlos has a real chance of grabbing pole position. It would also be a significant bonus to become the first Ferrari driver to win the pole start on this track.
Sainz expressed his opinion on possibility of finishing on the podium, also underlining how the US weekend can help the team in terms of 2023: “Podium here in Austin? The car is competitive everywhere, even if Red Bull has had something more in the race lately. Here we will try the 2023 tires and this can help us understand how to improve in this aspect in the next World Cup. "
The Spaniard also, taking a look at the drivers' standings, judged the fight with the driver irrelevant Mercedes George Russell, preferring to think about the possibility of a win before the end of the season: “Russell? Fourth or fifth, nothing changes for me, I'd rather win a race between now and the end of the year".
