Dominant at the Singapore Grand Prix, o Carlos Sainz gave Ferrari their first win of the Formula 1 season, taking advantage of the pole position they started from and finishing ahead of Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton.
The Spanish driver spoke about the difficulties he faced during the race, adding that he and his team did everything perfectly in the three-day race, rightfully taking the big win.
What the winner of the Singapore Grand Prix said in detail:
“Given the limitations we had with tire wear, it was all about protecting them in the first stint to ensure we hit the target we wanted with each type of tyre.
The safety car forced us into the pits earlier than we wanted, and I knew we had a long stint on the hard tire ahead of us. I had to slow down to not give Norris a chance from a safety car or the middle tyre, and it all worked perfectly. It was a very close battle at the end, but we gave Lando some DRS to help him and so in the end we managed to win”.
For his win: “Amazing feeling, amazing three days. I want to thank everyone at Ferrari for making this huge effort to turn things around and win this year after a difficult start.
But this three days we did everything perfectly. We were equal in the match. We did everything we had to do, we did it perfectly and we brought home a win that I’m sure everyone in Italy and Ferrari will be proud and happy about.”.
