The Spaniard from Ferrari despaired behind Ocon, argued with his team and ended up making a mistake that left him in eighth place.
one lap behind Esteban Oconand another, and another, and another and at the end Carlos Sainz He ended up desperate, yelling at his team, making mistakes. He was the most affected by the platoon organized by the French behind max verstappen and Fernando Alonso and, at the same time, the driver who lost the most positions on the grid. From his fourth place at the start to eighth place at the finish line. And that his place was clearly the podium.
From the beginning it was clear that the Spaniard was faster than Ocon, but between the walls of Monte Carlo he could not beat him. He wanted to do it at the chicane and ended up crashing into him. He wanted to do it on his first stop in the pits and Ferrari missed the moment, too early. And he finally wanted to do it in the rain and suffered the spin that delayed him.
“We could have done better. The first stop surprised me because I had taken great care of the tire and it could have held up, they put me in too soon. Then I went out again behind Ocon and I got frustrated. I was a victim of frustration, that’s why I failed. It’s still It better happen to me this year because the car is not where we want it to be,” said Sainz.
His result led him to lose a place in the World Cup -now he is sixth behind George Russell– and confirmed the bad year for Ferrari, among its problems with degradation, wrong strategies and driver failures. In fact, despite the disappointments, Sainz is the team’s best driver, ahead of charles leclercwho at home could only be sixth.
