Carlos Sainz comments on the Miami Grand Prix
Reaching the interview ring, the Spanish driver talked about his race, finishing in fourth place behind his Maranello teammate Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver described Sergio Perez’s maneuver as “crazy”: “I think today everyone was racing very hard. First, Checo ‘came in like a torpedo’ at the start and almost took all of us out, making me lose two positions. From that moment on, I was very fast. I saved my tires, and I was unlucky with the Safety Car for a lap, which could have given us the victory.”
The Spaniard then did not hide his frustration with the contact with Oscar Piastri: “I’m angry with Oscar because he clearly pushed me off the track, which cost us time with Charles and Max. I saw that the stewards today were not very aggressive with penalties, so I was aggressive.” – he continued.

He’s a driver who will win many races in F1 because he’s of an exceptional level. Today he was lucky, but luck comes to those who deserve it, and today he certainly deserved it.” – Carlos Sainz concluded at the end of the 2024 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
