Ferrari gets off to a good start thanks to teamwork

The Madrid native had already achieved most of this victory by taking pole position in a closely fought qualifying session. The key was to defend the first position at the start. That was the initial objective. Ferrari were concerned about the increased tire degradation and Mercedes’ improved race pace, but at the same time they knew they could protect themselves this time, unlike at Monza, and Carlos was eager to win as it is extremely difficult to overtake. Marina Bay street layout. Ferrari knew it was their only option to win. No other route has a chance.

The Red Bulls started very far and were eliminated in a battle for everything, with Carlos taking pole position, so everyone had to row as one. Charles Leclerc also understood this, and this time he took on the leading role of Charles’s valet. They mortgaged Monaco’s race after starting third.installation of soft tires He begins attacking George Russell. Leclerc, who started third, overtook George to take second place and began to defend Carlos’ victory. In the end, Ferrari developed a textbook strategy for victory, with no regard for names or surnames, with the sole goal of the highest-placed car winning the race. Additionally, Hamilton skipped the first chicane to pass his teammate, giving Carlos a little more oxygen, who started managing his tires from there.

ThereSainz demonstrated important qualities as a driver: intelligence and the ability to read the race. He knew that if his abilities deteriorated further, he would not be able to push. He had to reserve tires. He started running the business with Charles behind him. After his first ‘safety car’, Leclerc lost position due to the traffic he encountered during the stop, leaving the Spaniard alone in the face of danger. But even then, with the addition of Russell, he continued to excel.

Carlos never made a mistake, even though Russell was always in his rearview mirror. The Spaniard took advantage of his advantage and brazenly slowed the pace of the race, angering George Russell, who didn’t know what to do. The British were faster, but it wasn’t worth it. And Carlos is a very sensible man of horchata descent, not only saving tires from his own pace, but also slowing down the race and pushing the car harder to prevent George’s temptation to pit earlier. was a hit. There was no way to stop it. Sainz’s race was perfect, with sensational control, no mistakes, no overactions, he always knew what he had to do and executed his plan perfectly.

Ending full of tension

A key moment came on lap 43 when Esteban Ocon stopped his car on track due to a problem.Carlos Sainz was not on new medium tires with 19 laps remaining.meanwhile Mercedes had the advantage of having medium new tires to squeeze as hard as possible into the final corner. In such a situation, Ferrari courageously decided to stay on track and burn out all options in favor of Sainz’s first position. Carlos stayed on the asphalt with old rubber. Norris and Leclerc too. And behind them, Norris and Hamilton will arrive like rockets.

Russell had to beat Carlos by 16 seconds, but in that time he had to pass Charles and Norris.. Leclerc tried to stop Russell, but passed him with seven laps remaining. George was seven inches behind Sainz with the force of a shot. Lando Norris may be the key. Carlos’ best friend on the grid and former McLaren teammate had to stop compatriot George to help his friend who couldn’t leave Madrid.

The last six laps seemed to take forever. I’m in agony. movie ending. Stressful. It was the most physically demanding course of the season, and the drivers accumulated a tremendous amount of fatigue, and by the final lap they were drenched in sweat, with internal humidity reaching its limit of 76%. Sainz demanded distance from Lando Norris at every turn.

With four laps left, the four cars in front of me were stuck together. Carlos, Norris, Russell, Hamilton. The two Mercedes were going like rockets. The slightest mistake could end Sainz’s GP. “We don’t have a front tire,” the Spaniard said on the radio. But unity was strength. Two friends, Rand and Carlos, joined forces at the front to hold their position. Carlos had to give Lando DRS to protect himself from Russell on the straight and the rest to brake against the two Mercedes cars. If they didn’t pass him, he would remain in second place and Carlos would win.

Rand ran wide from one side to the other in front of a helpless Russell who watched from curve to curve., Sainz escaped thanks to his friend’s block. Russell went wide on the final lap and hit protection, running out of options. He tried everything but Carlos and Rand stopped him. Hamilton took advantage of his teammate’s mistake to climb onto the podium. Leclerc, who started 11th, moved to 4th and Verstappen to 5th. On the day everything went wrong, Alonso was 15th.This Sunday was that day Carlos Sainz. It was his second win in F1.

The church bells of Maranello rang again. You can now install flags in the factory (one is installed for each victory achieved in the same year). Ferrari have already taken their first win of the year, helping them break the dominance of Red Bull, who had won the first 14 races of the season. Sainz did it. Victory number 1. Indisputable. No matter what they say.
