Carlos Sainz

And my dream was always to be also a Ferrari driver.

But realistically, I remember telling my team,

I think we're leaving McLaren and this team is actually a very good race team.

These people are going to go up.

They're going to keep climbing because I know how good Andrea Stella is.

I know how good Pat Prodromou is, Pete Prodromou is.

I remember leaving that team and

Having two, three or four names that if I could have taken them with me to Ferrari, I for sure would have taken them because I knew they were doing things well.

And they were honestly really, really, really good people that I enjoyed a lot working with them.

Did you ever look over your shoulder last year and think, could it be me?

no and i tell you why not um because first of all in 2021 in ferrari i achieved my first podiums of my career i think i did three podiums at the time in 2022 i won my first races and if you remember well 2023 while i was still winning races in ferrari mclaren were still

almost dead last in the qualifying and the race of Bahrain.

And what I would have thought back then, like how can I, I would be winning races with Ferrari, like, and I think it was the right thing to do at the right time.

And the only thing I feel is happiness for the team that still, when they were on their way up, they had a bit of a blip in 22 and 23.

And then they went back to win a year later the Constructors' Championship in 24 and become World Champions drivers in 25 with...

a good friend of mine, Lando, and I just feel honestly happy for them.

I don't feel any regrets.

I think Lando has been always quick.

Since the day he became an F1 driver, he was

I think turning heads already with his lap times in testing and how quick he was in 19 and 20 when I was his teammate in Quali.
