Carlos Sainz Jr, the race winner, is seen celebrating alongside his teammate Charles Leclerc in the parc fermé. This occurred during the Formula 1 World Championship, specifically at the Australian Grand Prix in Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia, on March 24, 2024.
Leclerc and Norris both dismissed the idea that Sainz is underrated, highlighting that those within the Formula 1 community recognize his worth. Although Leclerc has had a slight edge over Sainz since they became teammates at Ferrari in 2021, Sainz managed to secure the last two victories for the Italian team.
One of these victories recently took place in Australia, where Sainz led a memorable Ferrari one-two finish. It is worth noting that Sainz had recently recovered from an appendix operation two weeks before this race. Additionally, Sainz also clinched the only non-Red Bull victory of the previous season in Singapore. Despite these successes, Ferrari chose not to renew his contract and instead signed Lewis Hamilton for 2025.
However, Leclerc is confident that Sainz will have no trouble finding a place on the grid, as other teams recognize his skills as a racing driver. When asked if he believed Sainz was underrated, Leclerc responded by saying that everyone in the paddock knows Sainz’s value. He considers Sainz one of the most highly regarded drivers in Formula 1, as he consistently demonstrates his strength on track. Leclerc believes that many team bosses are likely in negotiations with Sainz, even if he may not openly discuss it. Leclerc is confident that Sainz will have numerous opportunities and, in the end, will make the best decision for his career.
Norris, who was Sainz’s partner at McLaren in his first two seasons in Formula 1, agreed with Leclerc’s comments, stating that the Ferrari superstar made more progress in 2024.
« I believe Charles expressed that accurately, » added Lando. « There is no reason for anyone to consider him underrated. Those who know him understand his capabilities, his level of effort, his approach, and his dedication to becoming one of the best. He has proven that today and in the past few weeks.
« I’m sure there are many drivers who would not have put in as much effort or dedicated as much time to recover and get back in the race car. This is just one example. But for those who know what he is capable of, they would never say he is underrated.
« Of course, results are often used as a measure. People outside tend to judge based on what they see on TV. However, when you work with him and understand his capabilities, you witness exceptional performances like the one he delivered this weekend. And I would say he consistently performed at that level throughout the year. He has shown improvement compared to last year. So, if you underestimate him, you are foolish. »
Sainz commented: « I suppose I must agree with my two favorite teammates, » and further emphasized that those who have worked with him recognize his talent and dedication.
« While kind words are being said, I agree with them, » he stated. « People who know me, who have been on the same team as me or who have worked with me truly understand who I am. As for those who may not have knowledge or understanding of this sport and wish to underestimate me, I am indifferent to their opinions. Honestly, I don’t care.
« Mais je me soucie des personnes qui ont une compréhension profonde de ce sport, mes coéquipiers, ceux qui ont accès à mes données, témoignent de mon éthique de travail et observent ma vitesse. Leurs opinions comptent pour moi, et je ne me sens pas sous-estimé par eux. »
