Carlos Sainz is on his farewell tour with the Ferrari F1 team this year. Since Lewis Hamilton‘s 2025 signing, the Spaniard has been trying to find a seat and now that he has got one at Williams, he wants to do extremely well in the upcoming home race of Ferrari.
The F1 extravaganza has shifted to the picturesque Autodromo Nazionale Monza racing circuit and Carlos Sainz wants to fight for the win in front of the Tifosi. Last year, he managed a third-place finish at the event.
However, this year, being Sainz’s final time racing for Ferrari, he wants to do extraordinarily well.
Hey guys, it's Carlos Sainz and I'm here to tell you how I feel about my last Monza race with Ferrari. I think it's going to be a very emotional one, but also an exciting one. I hope that we can at least have as good a result as last year and hopefully, this year, go and challenge for the win again.Carlos Sainz via Puma Motorsport

Ferrari has so far had a pretty up-and-down 2024 F1 season. From the highs of Australia and Monza to facing performance issues with the SF-24 in recent races, the team has had quite a ride.
However, keeping in view that Ferrari is heading into its home race this week, everyone is going to be extra motivated to perform to the best of their ability. Several eyes will be glued on Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz throughout the Monza weekend.
