Live football games Carlos Sainz: At the beginning of the year I was subjected to a serious test, I was very uncomfortable
Sainz spoke about the reaction to the news of leaving Ferrari. The Spaniard learned before the start of the season that the 2024 championship forecast by
livescore soccer would be his last with the Scuderia - and that Lewis Hamilton would take his place.
According to Carlos, the news was a serious blow for him, but in the end, as time passed, he realized that the experience only made him stronger.
Next season, Sainz will play for Williams - Carlos signed a two-year contract with the team.
I think at the beginning of the year I was tested the hardest I`ve ever been because life put me in a situation where I was very uncomfortable.
I was informed that I would not continue playing for the team next season, although in the winter I was 99 percent sure of the opposite - that I would definitely remain on the team. This was a real shock and a disappointment to me, and I obviously didn`t feel very comfortable at that moment.
I continued to train, continued to prepare for the season, aimed at winning races, fighting for the title if the opportunity presented itself. I started the season full of energy, but it`s understandable that the situation was not entirely comfortable for me.
I remember that getting on the podium in Australia was a very emotional moment, because my father, my girlfriend, my girlfriend, basically all the people close to me were there. And of course I thought a lot about my mother.
They all saw how I suffered in winter. Although, when I say suffered, I don`t mean that I sat and cried, closing myself off from everyone. But yes, it hurt.
I was hurt because I never expected such a development of events. I was simply not ready to hear such news. I was in shock for some time. I remember that after the Australian Grand Prix I thought how lucky I was to have people around me who supported me and gave me the strength to overcome all this.
And now, when I look back, I`m almost happy and proud that it happened at all, because it made me better both as a driver and as an athlete in general, " said Sainz.
Father and son Sainz had a farewell drive behind the wheel of a Ferrari at Fiorano
