Carlos Sainz Jr.’s move to Ferrari was well deserved. The Spaniard had a breakthrough season at McLaren last year, he scored 96 points and beat a Red Bull for 6th place in the drivers’ championship. He also earned the Woking Outfit their first podium in 5 years! The last one came at the Australian Grand Prix in 2014, when the duo of Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.

This is what is necessary for the 25-year-old Spaniard to focus on if he wants to be a successful driver at the Maranello based outfit, according to Barrichello. It is something that has brought the Brazilian driver great success in F1. Barrichello was part of the Ferrari team that won 5 consecutive constructors’ championships. He also holds the record for the most starts in Formula One (322) and has amassed 11 wins and 68 podiums in his very successful career. So, Carlos could do a lot worse than follow his advice, once he joins the Prancing Horse in 2021.
