F1 World Championship 2024, round n°9. The world champion Circus is in Canada (the complete program) and Ferrari perhaps arrives as favourites. Even if Carlos Sainz, who spoke in the usual pre-event conferences, tries to throw the ball into the opponent's half of the field.
Confidence yes, boldness no. This is the "mood" of the Spaniard who has been missing from the podium for some time and who intends to get on it again, perhaps to "test" the new trophy designed by artificial intelligence.
Carlos, who is still working towards the future to find a seat (Mercedes, Audi and Williams are the options) said he was determined to continue, together with his team, in the good moment that has been experienced in the last few races.
“I believe - the Madrilenian began – that in the last Grands Prix we have always put into practice a very good execution on Sunday, in which we have maximized the potential of our package. We must continue like this here in Canada too where we can expect to have very close values again”.

Canadian GP, Sainz: “Ferrari is not favoured”
Carlos doesn't see Ferrari as favorites for the weekend: “From what we have seen so far this season it is right to give the role of favorite to Red Bull, but we must continue to work because we have gotten closer and are in a position to put pressure on them and make them have slightly less peaceful days, perhaps inducing to make some mistakes”.
Sainz has also evidently learned Vasseur's lesson which pushes the need to put pressure on the Red Bull leaders. A way to maximize performance and, at the same time, to avoid burdening the environment with potentially harmful waits.
Carlos' last laps were reserved for the Canadian track. “It is a route full of charm and detail. In 2022 I fought with Max until the last corner and it would be nice to be able to give Red Bull and McLaren a run for their money again this weekend”.
