Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc have already demonstrated driving vintage Formula 1 cars this season. At the British Grand Prix in July, Vettel was in Nigel Mansell‘s championship-winning 1992 Williams FW14B, while Sainz’s Ferrari teammate Leclerc damaged three-time world champion Niki Lauda’s Ferrari 312 B3 at a demonstration in Monaco. Leclerc was not at fault for the incident, which was determined to be the result of a brake problem, but Sainz is still unsure of the level of risk he is willing to accept now.
Carlos Sainz reveals that he had the opportunity to test an old Ferrari in the past. He said It always gives one a vision of how the sport was a long time ago. He also revealed that he is in two minds with it because why would you risk it? “But at the same time, when else are you going to have this opportunity to drive these cars? So, every time I jump in a classic Formula 1 car, I have these things in my head.
“And if I’m jumping in a car, I’m going to push it. I don’t know how to jump in a car and put the elbow out and drive around. I have no idea how to do this. “I can only jump in and feel it and feel how these cars felt, so every time I’m going to jump in, I’m going to push the car. And these things can happen.” expressed Sainz.
The Spaniard was also questioned about his relationship with Leclerc, with whom he has partnered for 35 Grands Prix through Hungary 2022. “For sure, Charles always produces extremely good laps, through free practice into qualifying and this year also very good race pace like we have seen. It’s always a great reference to have in the team, a great guy to get on with, a guy that I really have learned a lot from in the past few years and a guy that I look forward to having as a team mate for the future.” said Sainz.

“Because I feel that we get on well and we have a good partnership. We get to spend a lot of time together, both in Maranello and at the track and we normally have very similar opinions about a lot of stuff. And apart from that when it’s time to have fun, we also can have fun with each other and play some sports and everything. Not everything is super serious, and the team depends on it, the relationship with us and I hope we can keep it that way because it makes things easier.” opined Sainz.
