Sainz acknowledges Leclerc’s outstanding performance throughout the weekend and believes he deserves to win in Monaco after a series of unfortunate events. Sainz hopes they can avoid any unexpected incidents and achieve victory with Leclerc.
Although Sainz faced challenges throughout the weekend, he managed to recover and qualify just over two tenths behind Leclerc. However, he expressed disappointment at encountering difficulties with his car in a race where grid position is crucial. Sainz explained that he lacked confidence in the car due to several close calls with the barriers during practice sessions. These near accidents affected his performance and made him cautious, resulting in a lack of consistency. Despite these challenges, Sainz is grateful that they were able to overcome some of the issues and qualify well.
In summary, Sainz is determined to support Leclerc in his quest for victory in the Monaco Grand Prix. He recognizes Leclerc’s strong performance and believes he deserves to win.
