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&#39t 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&#39s 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.

Joao Fonseca does not hide ambition

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.

“I know I will have to deal with the pressure that comes from the high expectations on me. They see me in tournaments, talking about me, but the pressure that I most prefer è the one that my opponents may feel when they face me” he chipped in Joao Fonseca.

Daniele De Rossi, the affectionate farewell from Roma senators

Like a bolt out of the blue, Roma has decided to relieve Daniele De Rossi of his duties as first-team coach due to a disappointing start to the season with only three points won in four games. Following the official announcement of the exoneration of the Giallorossi coach, several Capitoline players wanted to send their greetings and thanks to the now former coach without also hiding a hint of skepticism about the decision taken by the club.

“Coach, it was not many months, but it was enough to convey many things to us on a sporting and human level. Soccer è often unfair…thanks for everything and I wish you the best for your future” this is the thought of Paulo Dybala.

“Thank you for everything you have always been with me… a reference point since I was little, a comrade and friend, a captain, a coach. I wish you the best becauseé you deserve it as a Man and as a Professional and I am sure you will achieve everything you want. Good luck Coach. I love you Daniele” these are the words of Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini.

“Thank you for everything mister. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work together in these months” this is the message of Gianluca Mancini.

“First as a teammate and then as a coach, you confirmed what I always thought of you: a gentleman of soccer. You have been a reference point not only on a technical level but especially for your charisma and your being a leader inside the locker room, definitely not è the ending we expected for who you are and what you represent for this city; but what you gave us even if for a short time we will not forget, I can only wish you the best for your future because you deserve it, Thank you for everything you did, I love you Dani” these, finally, the words of Stephan El Shaarawy.

In place of Daniele De Rossi, Roma decided to sign Ivan Juric, who signed a contract until June 30, 2025.
