carlos on the tension at ferrari:
“yeah, i see there's a bit going on and i don't know why they've included me in that party because i feel like i've been mentioned a couple of times and i'm like, ‘hey, i'm not there anymore, don't get me into this.’
especially (since) i've had my share of things happening at ferrari when i was there and the last thing i want is not to get dragged into it because i'm not there anymore, no? i'm enjoying my time in williams.
but it is true that it's a complex place because there you're fighting for wins and when you're fighting for wins pressure is higher. normally, i used to try and keep it outside the media because then this would happen, but it is true that there's some things happening and it's up to them to solve them.”
He’s the ex that ferrari and their fans can’t seem to get over, they have to include him in every drama
Carlos Sainz was asked about the Ferrari drama on F1TV & joked he feels like the that's none of my business frog meme 😂
"I see there's a bit going on & I don't know why they've included me in that party because I feel like I've been mentioned a couple of times & I'm like, 'Hey, I'm not there anymore, don't get me into this.'"
"...I used to try to keep it outside the media because then this would happen. It's up to them to solve them."
Only converted 5 of those into a win, poles doesn’t really matter if you can’t convert them into wins, you’re just reserving first place to someone else atp

preach. anyone thinking Carlos' recent statement absolves Leclerc of being a shit teammate lacks comprehension bc recent events clearly prove that it's only due Carlos' compartmentalizing skill that the relationship didn't sour and ruin their friendship.

the sheer irony of clara, one of his biggest haters back then, using a carlos quote to defend charles against lewis, when the very same quote is carlos calling out charles’ most radical fans for treating him like shit simply because he refused to act like a second driver
carlos on his battles with charles:
"regarding the battles we had, it's true that when you're fighting for wins, the pressure is greater and there's much more at stake. that's why you naturally become a bit more selfish than when you're competing in the midfield for an eighth or ninth place. it's more difficult to stick to the team's ideal strategy because there's a win on the line; and back then, wins were within reach.
even so, i think i always respected charles and he respected me; we never clashed or anything like that. we simply had intense battles— i remember Monza or Las Vegas—; there were many moments of great tension throughout the year. perhaps the most difficult thing was managing the environment, the relationship with the media and, above all, the fans, who were very passionate at that time.
the situation was very polarized between charles and me. i remember suffering a bit because of his more radical fans, who insulted me or wished me ill. even some italian media outlets criticized me for not acting enough as a 'second driver' when the situation required it, and the same thing happened when it was leclerc who had to assume that role.
therefore, it was more about the pressure surrounding ferrari —and that comes with being part of the team—than any real problems between charles and me; in fact, any conflict was resolved that same night, when we talked things through calmly and managed to find a solution to move forward"

Carlos was told people think he and Rafael Camara look alike 😭
“Oh, really? I saw him yesterday at the hotel reception and welcomed him to Formula 1, but I didn't see myself reflected in him. It's strange. I'll have to look more closely. Perhaps I wasn't looking with those eyes. Maybe I need to look more with those eyes.”
He is too nice for his own good
Carlos was asked about the situation between Charles and Lewis, he mentions it can be though, but was tougher for him was the fans and the passion of the ferrari fans, he remembers being insulted and wished harm by radical fans, but between him and Charles they always solved everything the same night
“It's tough when your teammate works against you. If it had been me, I'd be the one having to explain myself right now.
As for the head-to-head battles we had, it's true that when you're fighting for wins, the pressure is greater and there's much more at stake. That's why you naturally become a little more selfish than when you're competing in the middle of the grid for eighth or ninth place. It’s harder to follow the team’s ideal strategy to the letter because a victory is on the line; and back then, victories were within reach.”
“Even so, I think I always respected Charles and he respected me; we never had any collisions or anything like that. We simply had intense battles—I remember Monza and Las Vegas—and there were many moments of great tension throughout the year. “Perhaps the hardest part was managing the environment, the relationship with the media, and, above all, the fans, who were very passionate back then,”

“In fact, any conflict was resolved that very night, when we talked with cooler heads and managed to find a solution so we could move forward..”
