Scuderia Ferrari was formed alongside Formula 1’s inception back in 1950. The sport also pays an additional fee to Maranello due to the team’s history in the sport.

We can sit here and obviously do a different podcast one time, and I can maybe explain to you what is tough about being a Ferrari driver, but I don’t want this interview to be that, Sometimes it’s tough, there’s things about being a Ferrari driver that is also tough. And I’m not going to lie, not everything is roses and perfect.

Speaking about the positive sides, Sainz claimed that the Ferrari fans treated every race as a home race. The 30-year-old labeled the feeling as ‘very special’ which couldn’t be explained in mere words. The Spaniard was confident that the feeling of being a Ferrari driver was something that he never felt before and enjoyed every single moment of it.
However, I’m going to focus on the positives, which is every Grand Prix is a kind of a home Grand Prix. It’s a very special experience It’s something that even if I sit here and I try to explain it to you, I don’t think I can. I’m not very good at explaining myself or explaining my feelings and but I can tell you, it’s something very different to anything that I felt before, and I’ve enjoyed every single moment of it.

What is amazing is how different each city in the United States is. America has so much to offer: beautiful mountains, great coastlines and fantastic cities. You have Miami, and then you go to Austin, which feels like a very young city and obviously has a lot to do with college football. I think that’s one of the most fun race weekends of the year. And, of course, the race in Las Vegas.
