Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz

Ferrari experienced its worst season in the franchise history in 2020. They finished last in the midfield. Considering such a huge step back and such a horrific season, they went in and acquired Carlos Sainz to drive alongside Charles Leclerc for 2021 season.  

Carlos Sainz made his move to Ferrari from McLaren. He had a great stint with McLaren and was a part of an open environment with the team and his teammate. The Spaniard has continued the same approach at the Maranello outfit. 

What did Charles Leclerc say about Carlos Sainz?

“In recent years he has been in several teams, and I think it is always interesting to get an idea of how the opponents work. I’ve immediately noticed his great motivation too. He is in his first year in Ferrari and you can see that he immediately wants to do very well.” 

“This euphoria is contagious for the benefit of the whole team. I believe that for a team it is always good to have two drivers who push to get back to victory,” explained the Monegasque driver. 

Charles Leclerc concluded, “What has changed is the time I spent with my teammate, because in the past Sebastian and I often crossed paths. I would arrive as he left, or vice versa. Now, with Carlos Sainz, we are often in on the same days and consequently we spend more time together.”
