After a good fifth place with the sixth best car in Zandvoort, Carlos Sainz returns to Monza for his third Italian Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver. The previous ones have never seen him on the podium in Red (fourth in 2022, sixth in 2021), but this year the target is to grab that top 3, which here has a different flavor.
On the eve of the Grand Prix, the Spaniard spoke about the Italian support, his expectations for the weekend and Verstappen's winning streak. In fact, it is in Monza that the Dutchman can overtake Sebastian Vettel and become the only driver ever to win 10 consecutive races.
Sainz's words

“Especially in difficult times, the support of the fans makes the difference. Their constant presence allows us to push even harder, both on the track and in the factory. If the opportunity to win presents itself we will be the first to take it. I learned that anything can really happen in Formula 1, even if it won't be easy to overturn the prediction.".
"I got to the podium in 2020, when the fans were not present, so I would be happy to find him again with the thrill of passion that only Monza can give you. Verstappen? Everyone can make mistakes under pressure. Unfortunately we were never able to corner him, and that's what we have to do if we want to beat him.".
