Ferrari | Sainz, management like a phenomenon in Singapore: perfect reading of the race and Norris' DRS

Carlos Sainz took his second victory in formula 1. With a strategy that might have seemed suicidal, the Spaniard managed with fantastic management to take the lead Ferrari on the top step of the podium. He was practically perfect from the start, obviously considering yesterday's beautiful lap which allowed him to take pole position. Carlos seems to have made a notable step in recent weeks, and read today's situation in the finale, giving a Norris il DRS to defend themselves from attackers Mercedes, it was a pure phenomenon.

“During the race, all the things that I thought could happen happened – Sainz admitted in the mixed zone. The Safety Car on lap 40 arrived a little too early, and I put on hard with more than XNUMX laps to go. The simulations said they were a bit too much, we had to do everything to save the tyres, then when the Mercedes arrived at the end I had to use a tactic with Lando and his DRS and it worked. A strategic "Carlando" moment, because if they had passed it, it would have been very difficult to keep them behind."

“The race lasted a very long time, but it's more of a mental sensation than a physical one, because I didn't push much to get to the end well with the tyres, but mentally knowing what to do was always very difficult, and you know that you can't make a mistake with one car behind less than a second, otherwise it will pass you. I wanted to have the perfect race, I think Ferrari achieved that, and it's nice to see that when we have a chance we manage to take it. I knew how far I wanted Lando to get, at eight/nine tenths he couldn't pass me but he could still open the DRS, it was my idea, and when I told Ricky that I was doing it on purpose and to leave me alone, it was a moment surprised, but it was necessary if we wanted to win."
