"Carlos Sainz is messing everything up at Ferrari,” Former F1 driver

Former F1 driver Christian Danner believes that Carlos Sainz is messing everything up at Ferrari. He believes that his win at the Australian GP last weekend has got Ferrari thinking if they have signed the wrong driver for the next season.

Lewis Hamilton announced that he would be moving to Ferrari at the end of the current season, and he would be replacing none other than Carlos Sainz. However, the Spaniard has been in good form this season, scoring 40 points from just two races, as he missed the Saudi Arabian GP owing to his appendix surgery.

“At the moment, Carlos Sainz is messing everything up at Ferrari,” Danner said.

“’Firstly, you’ve signed the wrong driver for next year. Hamilton is lagging behind, I’m much better. Secondly, if you want Hamilton, you’ve kept the wrong one because I’m faster’.”

“If I, as a future number one driver, am blown away by the fired driver, that’s difficult,” said Danner.

“Sainz goes at it with a commitment, a joy and an aggressiveness that I really like!"

“It also requires a fervent attitude: ‘Now it’s me and nobody else’. You can see that not only in his eyes, but in every corner.”
