Ferrari, Charles Leclerc makes an admission about Carlos Sainz’s victory in Melbourne
Charles Leclerc spoke at the press conference on the eve of the Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka circuit. Here are the words of the Monegasque of Ferrari, reported by the Italian version of motorsport.com.
“I would be lying if I said I was happy thinking about this aspect, the wins are important and the points at the end of the season are even more so; but at the same time I want Ferrari to win as soon as possible. Carlos did an amazing job and won, now it’s up to me to react and hopefully win the next race. In F1 so many people base their opinions on the’last race, but if I look at my last eight or nine weekends, I think they have been on average a very good level”.
“Unfortunately, in most of those races it was not possible to win, but I am aware that it is up to me to be there whenever the opportunity arises, and I was not in Singapore and Melbourne. Finally, I would like to say that the fact that Carlos will not beà in Ferrari next year does not add any pressure”.
“I think every race is very important, at this stage we are building a clearer picture of what our weaknesses are and what our strengths are. I think this track will allowà to understand something more about the values on the field in the high-speed sections, this will probably helpà a little bit more; to place our position in relation to the opponents in that type of corners”.
“The data tell us that Red Bull this weekend should be in front, especially in the race. We have some strength on tracks where there’è graining on the front axle, in Australia this aspect è was important, but I don’t think we will find those conditions again here in Suzuka, so we should see Red Bull again in the position of the first two races”.
“For our part, we want to bring home the maximum possible points, today we are only four points behind Red Bull, a margin that does not represent our real value in terms of performance, but which denotes how a particularly good job has been done in maximizing what weò have at the moment”.
“There are always weaknesses on a car, we know where we need to improve. I think the overall package needs to be faster, in qualifying with new tires we are quite close to Red Bull, we struggle a little bit more with used tires”.
“What happened in qualifying è my responsibility. I was coming back from very good qualifying, but in Australia on Saturday I did not do a good job and this also impacted the race becauseé we were forced to anticipate the first pit stop because of Lando and Oscar. The second stint è was very long, so è it was a little bit more difficult to manage that phase of the race, but again, è it was all related to qualifying. I tried something in Q3 that didn’t work, that’s all”.
“At one point I è was asked not to fight and, honestly, it made sense. I don’t think I would have had the opportunity anyway because Carlos and I ended up with a little bit different strategies, only at one point in the race, when I had new tires, I could have pushed harder, but at the same time I knew I had to complete a lot of laps with that set of tires, so I think it made sense for everybody not to overdo it. And, anyway, considering the positions I qualified in, I don’t think I could have made it”.
“We should be closer than what we saw last year, for sure. We have done a lot of work on this car to improve the performance in high-speed sections, and in general è a more predictable single-seater than last season”.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton
During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.
“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don't think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team's choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.
“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.
“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.
“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

Jannik Sinner’s new post exalts John Malagò
CONI President Giovanni Malagò spoke at the Allianz Tower in Milan on the sidelines of an event with Olympic and Paralympic athletes who participated in the Paris Games. During his speech, the Rome native wanted to dwell on the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and the role that Jannik Sinner will play, who will be one of the volunteers contributing to the event’s organization.
“The origins of Jannik Sinner, who è is from South Tyrol, suggest that he could have become the world number one in skiing. This we can never know, but we certainly know that he è become the number one in tennis” began the CONI president.
“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.

During an interview given to the microphones of “CLAY”, the promising Joao Fonseca, among other topics, revealed what are his main goals in the short and long term.
“I see the rivalryà that Alcaraz and Sinner have and è to that level I want to get. Sometimes I think I should aim for top-100 or top-50, but no, I want to set my targets on them. I want to be like Carlos and Jannik, win Slams and other big tournaments” began the Brazilian tennis player.
“We are living the present with calm and serenity; reflecting carefully on every aspect of my game. This è a long-term career and we are waiting for the right moment to take the best path for me” added the 18-year-old from Rio de Janeiro.
