2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sainz had his best season in Formula One last year scoring his first victory, 10 podiums, three pole positions, and finishing fifth for the second year in a row. Like teammate Leclerc, last year started brightly for Sainz with three podium finishes from the first five races. He similarly suffered from the squad's mid-season slump, though. In addition to the team's woes, Sainz endured four DNFs due to crashes and a further two more due to mechanical issues. Eliminating those would help him be a bigger player in the championship battle, which he should be capable of considering his pace. Sainz said that he has come to grips with this new generation of car and is looking to deliver more consistency in 2023. He will need the best from the team to be among the championship contenders, but at a minimum we would hope to see Sainz winning multiple races this season. Read Past Outlooks
Podium in Final Start with Ferrari
Formula One
December 8, 2024
Sainz finished second in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Lusail Circuit on Sunday evening.
ANALYSIS
The veteran driver would start third on the grid after a strong qualifying effort at Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Making his last start with Ferrari, Sainz would get a break when two of the top drivers would make contact on lap 1. Both Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri would spin and that would allow Sainz clear access to second-place. He would settle in there and run a long opening stint to anchor him in that position. Sainz would keep leader Lando Norris within sight in the closing laps but would have to settle for the impressive runner-up finish in his last start at Ferrari.
