Carlos Sainz will ‘be driving for himself’ but knows ‘other bosses are watching’
“He won’t yield either. Why should he? He’s beꦕen kicked out"

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz must drive to impress but must be “a team player” with f🍬uture employers watching him, Martin Brundle ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsays.
Ferrari driver Sainz has three op♋tions on the table for his 2025 dri꧙ve - Alpine, Williams or Sauber.
As he decides, Sainz enters this weekend’s F1 Austrian Grand Prix needing to patch up his relationship with Charles Leclerc after their bust-up a week ago inಌ Spain.
Sky Sporꦜts’ Brundle warned that the atmosphere within Ferrari will re🅺main tense for the remainder of the season.
“It will be exactly the same until the las༒t lap of the last grand prix,” he said.
“Carlos will increasingly be d🍬riving for himself. But he’s smart enough to realise that other team bosses will be watching.
“You’ve got to be a team player. They w𓃲ouldn’t want to hire somebody who can’t foll🐻ow team instructions. He won’t do that.
“He won’t yield either. Why should he? He’s been kicked out o🌳f his dream drive and now has to choose between the least worst options!
“I bet he’s hurting like crazy.”
Last weekend, Leclerc thought that Sainz disobeyed a pre-race team or♈der.
Sainz insisted that Leclerc complains too much.
Team principal Fred Vasseur was forced to shrug off ♑questions about his drivers’ relationship.
Na☂omi Schiff insisted that Ferrari must somehow manage the awkwardness between their outgꦜoing driver, who will be replaced by Lewis Hamilton, and Leclerc.
“That’s the trickiest part,” she said. “[Sainz] alluded that they sat down wit🐎h Fred to get a talking to.
“There is a level of selfishness🍸 that you have to have. You can’t beat anybody on the track as an equal.
“Ferrari told C꧋arlos ‘we don’t want you anymore’. So does he have to prove himself to Fred in any way? Does that talking-to have an effect on him anymore? A lot less, I would say.
“It’s a juggling act. How do you manage that relationship? It’s a tricky job. You’ve got to keep people on♑side, reduce the🌸 friction and the frustration.”
