After their crash in Australia and his subsequent ‘encounter’ in Bakuto Carlos Sainz’sHe has been put in the spotlight for his battles against a Fernando Alonso who, at last, has a competitive car to fight against Ferrari.
The Asturian has completed a spectacular start to the season that makes the fans dream of 33, while the man from Madrid is trying to deal with a car that does not suit his style.
In an interview with ‘Marca’, the ’55’ have been asked if he feels underestimated by the fans.
“I don’t know if I’m being given credit, but I I feel sheltered and supported by a large part of the fans. I think that they have respected me and they respect me and that they have always treated me with affection, including the Spanish press, so I have no complaints”, he explained, ruling out any anger.
In fact, he understands that there is fervor for his compatriot: “I am realistic and I always try to put myself in the shoes of others… If I were at home watching Formula 1, I would also be supporting Fernando. In the end it is he who has won the two World Cups…”.
“He has made me get to F1, that I fell in love with this sport. And if it weren’t for him, maybe I would be at home, connecting to the races to see Fernando’s 33. If I was in that position I would be one of them.“, has added.
Of course, he also wanted to stick out his chest because of his position: “But it turns out that now there is another Spanish pilotwho is also in Ferrari, the best team of all time, and who is giving everything to win his second, the 34th for Spain, and who is also happy that Fernando is doing well”.
