The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be synonymous with the final act of the 2021 Formula 1 championship and will also mark the conclusion of the first year in Ferrari some Spanish Carlos Sainz, chosen by Prancing Horse as a replacement for Sebastian Vettel for the current season. The 27-year-old from Madrid, on the eve of the stage on the Yas Marina circuit, can now boast three podiums won with the Red. Second place in the Monaco GP stands out as the best result of the season. Momentarily stopped in 7th place in the general standings, 4.5 points from former teammate Lando Norris and 8.5 points from current team-mate Charles Leclerc, the son of the bi-world rally champion will take to the track with the goal of bringing his team to third place in the constructors’ ranking, a goal just six points away.
The general attention of all spectators, however, is turned to the world championship challenge between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, who are all fighting for the conquest of the drivers’ title. A head to head full of tension, for the race to come, and as many controversies for what has already happened in Jeddah. Regarding this duel, Sainz expressed himself during the presentation press conference at the weekend in Abu Dhabi, underlining the hope of witnessing a battle without impropriety: “From me – he has declared – I just wish they could play this last weekend cleanly, and that they put on a show, above all, and more than anything else, for the image of sport. It must be a benefit for Formula 1, which, even before being a show, remains a sporting competition. Last Sunday evening I turned on the TV to understand what had happened between the two in the race, since everyone was talking about it. Once I saw the episode, I realized how close this challenge is, and how spectacular it has been for F1 throughout this season. “.
However, the least appreciated aspect of this challenge for the Spaniard focused on social media, considered the expression of a not entirely genuine cheer: “Unfortunately on Twitter and on social networks there is a lot of polarization – he specified – I don’t mean it’s a conflict between the fans, but this split makes the fight a little less exciting when you see the two sides fighting so much against each other. I think we need to be a little more neutral, enjoy the match and make the best one win. I’m not going to say who my driver of the season was, particularly because if I say one, then some will criticize me. I don’t want to take a stand because it doesn’t make sense – he concluded – also because, I repeat, everything is already very polarized on social networks “.
