“Regardless of who I’ve raced against, whether Max, Nico, Lando or Charles, I never had the feeling that I was slower than them or that I couldn’t do something they can. I’ve beaten everyone and always pushed them to the limit. I see this as an accolade. Max, Lando and Charles are among the top people in the field, also according to my own assessment.”
I like the challenge of racing against them. And they made me a better driver. That also gave me the confidence that I can take on anyone when I came to Ferrari. If I integrate myself properly into the team and set up the car correctly, I don’t have to be afraid of anyone,” Sainz concluded. (Translated via German via Google)
