  • Enzo Ferrari: Genesis, glory and decadence of the 'Scuderia'

A week after the announcement that changed his life, Carlos Sainz has granted an interview to the official website of Formula 1, where he offers some details about the negotiation that led to the dream signing for Ferrari. During this process, Zak Brown , McLaren's boss, played a key role, since at no time did he hamper the pilot who led his project last year.

"The moment Ferrari took an interest in me, I went directly to Zak and he replied: 'Okay, we will let you talk to them and we will keep in touch to see how everything unfolds," explains Sainz, "very proud" of the way in which all the negotiation took place. "The key to solving the process was clarity on all sides. The way it was managed makes me feel very happy and very grateful to Zak and the team. They were happy for me and congratulated me," reveals the former Renault driver. .

Of course, the loyalty to the team with which he achieved sixth place in the 2019 World Cup continues to drive Carlos, with "a great desire" to say goodbye to his friends from Woking "in the best possible way." "I'm going to do my best this year," warns Lando Norris' teammate about the 2020 World Cup, even without a start date.

"Build something special"

As for his prospects for 2021, Sainz does not currently offer any clues about his expected duel with Charles Leclerc and prefers to maintain a plan very similar to the one outlined in the team led by Andreas Seidl , who always appreciated his tireless dedication at the factory.

"In Ferrari they are going to find an extremely hard-working guy, who will spend a lot of time in Maranello, in the same way that I spent a lot of time in McLaren. I will try to build something special with Ferrari, as I tried to build something special in McLaren", predicted Sainz . "Apart from that, I hope to be a very fast and incredibly motivated driver, who will give everything for Scuderia, " he concluded.
