Sainz is still behind choice for Ferrari: "Right place to be"
- GPblog.com
Carlos Sainz is delighted with his new contract with Ferrari, the team he will be driving for in 2021. The Spaniard is the replacement for the outgoing Sebastian Vettel. The weak start of the season for the Italians does not leave him in any doubt that his choice was the right one.
"I know there are a lot of questions about Ferrari's performance now. But if you look at history, Ferrari is of course the most successful team in Formula 1", Sainz said in conversation with Sky Sports. "Why not take that chance? Of course it is now Mercedes that dominates the sport, they have the best chance of becoming champions year after year. But I think that Ferrari is the right place to be and that's why I've made that choice".
Sainz first intends to end the current season successfully. "My eyes are still focused on McLaren. I want to help the team to develop so that it can compete for victories in the future". Sainz is ranked ninth in the World Cup, with fifteen points scored.
