On the other side of the Ferrari garage, Sainz also made his one-stop strategy work but had to settle for P4 after his tyres started to drop off towards the end. Despite this, the Spaniard was mostly satisfied with how his race had unfolded at Monza.
“I was honestly very happy with how the first part of the race went,” Sainz explained. “Then for some reason we extended a lot the first stint [on the medium tyre], while the hard looked very strong when they boxed, and I lost six/seven seconds of race time that probably just made me lose the train of DRS and the train of tow, and then I was a bit in no-man’s land.

“We still managed to make the one-stop work, but it didn’t quite work the same way as it did with Charles, but the most important thing is that we won with Charles and that the team today has scored a lot of points, and Charles managed to win in front of all the Tifosi.”
Sainz then echoed his team mate’s thoughts on how the team might perform at upcoming races, with the 30-year-old suggesting that the next two events in Azerbaijan and Singapore could be good for the Scuderia.
“I think we need to wait until Austin [to see where we stand],” he added. “I think the next two races we might have another shot at winning, but it is very particular, very different tracks to the normal tracks that we go to.
“Austin is the next normal track and we will see if we still have the pace to make it happen.”
