In a season of transition and rebirth for the Ferrari – went from the disaster of 2020 to the fight with McLaren for third place among the constructors, in the hope of being able to compete for the world title again next year – the happiest note seems to be the performances of the two drivers. Charles Leclerc And Carlos Sainz they probably represent the best ‘torque’ of the entire F1, in terms of proximity in performance, speed and mutual understanding. If the qualities of the Monegasque driver were known, what surprised positively was Sainz’s speed of adaptation to the new ‘red’ reality. The two occupy the sixth and seventh place in the drivers’ classification and are the two closest teammates in percentage by number of points obtained with respect to each other.
Such a situation, in a ‘historically’ top team like Ferrari, often risks leading to internal dislikes and rivalries to the box. However, this is not the case. Leclerc and Sainz in fact, despite having as their first goal to surpass each other, seem able to put the common good of Maranello ahead of all. Their direct challenge seems to help them extract the best of their qualities, without feeding dangerous dualisms. To confirm the good relationship that reigns under the banner of the Cavallino, Sainz himself thought of it, in an interview with the site Esquire.com.
“The relationship between me and Leclerc? Gorgeous, I couldn’t ask for better. Since we spend a lot of time together it is important to feel good personally too, and this is definitely our case – stressed the native of Madrid – we do a lot of things together: we play chess, padel, golf “. For the former McLaren driver then, joining Ferrari was like turning a dream into reality, despite the good relationship that tied him to the Woking stable. “It was a very important step in my career, I would say fundamental: becoming a Ferrari driver is every driver’s dream. I managed to do it at 26 and my life has changed since then. I want to give the best to this team and help get it back to the top “he concluded.
