How did Carlos Sainz do in France?
Carlos Sainz’s debut in France was in 2018, when the stage returned to Máxima. With Renault he performed well despite the fact that he lost a place in terms of ranking: on Saturday he was 7th and on Sunday he crossed the finish line 8th.
The following year, already with McLaren, he returned to the points zone. Carlos was in sixth place, behind teammate Lando Norris. With Lewis Hamilton in front, Mercedes made it 1-2. The Covid-19 pandemic prevented F1 from visiting France in 2020, although it resumed in 2021, the year the Spaniard’s good run was interrupted. What happened in France was forgotten for both Sainz and Ferrari.
In qualifying, Sainz found pace and speed to finish fifth. However, the car’s strong performance was not sustainable and it finished 11th, out of the points. His teammate Charles Leclerc finished 16th and Cavallino did not add for the first time in the year.
“When you have such bad pace and so much degradation, you can’t do anything with strategy,” assured the Spaniard. And I add: “It’s clear that something is wrong with the tires, you don’t need to be a genius, which I noticed from the first day I joined the team.”
