The 2020 season is one of the greatest disappointments for Ferrari. With 61 points accumulated Ferrari stands 5th in the Constructors title trailing behind McLaren. The poor form of Ferrari has been facing the guns of criticism from all sources. The rancid relationship between Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel too is making the news for the wrong reasons. However, Ferrari looks to solidify their strength as they have roped in Carlos Sainz from McLaren. Sainz is expected to join the Italian side from 2021. However the transition won’t be easy for Ferrari as well for Sainz. Though Sainz sees it as a perfect opportunity to grow and build his character.

Carlos Sainz positive about media pressure

The Spaniard is on the verge of joining one of the greatest Formula 1 franchise. The 25 year old has some big points to prove and some big shoes to fill. Even though Ferrari is struggling of late in the tracks, yet expectations would be enormous. The pressure of the media undoubtedly would surpass the pressure he’s had all these 6 years in the Formula 1 career. Apart from mainstream media, social media inputs and criticism too would be flung open.

“You have to be ready for those kinds of scenarios and I want to be in that kind of scenario. Of course, it’s something that is in my mind, but it’s something I’m willing to go through because it’s what every driver who wants to be world champion needs to go through at some point.” Sainz opened up in an interview with The Race.
