The opinion of fans about Carlos Sainz coincides with that of experts. A week after the official panel placed the McLaren driver on the third step of the 2019 World Cup ranking, the popular vote of the official Formula 1 poll gives Sainz the same place, with an average score of 8.24, only surpassed by Max Verstappen (8.59) and Lewis Hamilton (8.37).
"Fernando Alonso described Sainz's performance as 'phenomenal' and it is difficult to discuss it. Especially for the fact that he only added more points than Renault, Toro Rosso or Racing Point," explains the official F1 site on the season of the Madrid, sixth of the table with 96 points.
This analysis qualifies as "special" the first year of Sainz in the Woking team, where he highlighted his podium in the Brazilian GP. At the wheel of the MCL-34, the Spaniard also tied fourth place in Hockenheim, Hungaroring and Suzuka.
The public votes have favored the Spanish to the detriment of Charles Leclerc, despite the fact that the young Ferrari won two victories (Italy and Belgium) and seven 'poles' (Bahrain, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Russia and Mexico).
