Voormalig F1-wereldkampioen gelooft dat 'Sainz een offerlam was'

voormalig f1-wereldkampioen gelooft dat 'sainz een offerlam was'

Formule 1 wereldkampioen van 1997, Jacques Villeneuve, vindt dat Carlos Sainz bij Ferrari is weggestuurd. De Canadees, die vaak openhartig is, hekelde Ferrari voor haar beslissing en zei dat Ferrari “zich moet afvragen waarom ze hem hebben laten gaan.” Sainz, die drie Grand Prix heeft gewonnen met Ferrari, moet nog bevestigen waar hij volgend jaar zal rijden. Heeft Ferrari de verkeerde beslissing genomen? Villeneuve vraagt het zich af.

Jacques Villeneuve, zoon van de legendarische Gilles Villeneuve, heeft een 11-jarige Formule 1-carrière achter de rug. De Canadees startte 163 Grand Prix, won 11 races en versloeg Micheal Schumacher voor de titel in Jerez in 1997. In een gesprek met Casino Online In zei Villeneuve dat hij ‘twee kampen’ ziet binnen het Italiaanse team, waardoor er scheuren zouden kunnen ontstaan.

“Carlos Sainz heeft zo goed gereageerd nadat hij uit Ferrari was gezet,” zei Villeneuve. “We zien dat hij er niet is om tweede viool te spelen voor Leclerc. Hij is er om zijn spel te spelen en de wereld te laten zien wat hij kan. Hij heeft zichzelf enorm in de etalage gezet. Hij is de enige die races wint voor Ferrari. Zijn waarde is de afgelopen drie jaar echt gestegen.”

Carlos Sainz is een van de meest indrukwekkende coureurs van 2024. Hoewel de Spanjaard de Grand Prix van Saoedi-Arabië miste vanwege een blindedarmontsteking, leidde hij Ferrari eerder dit jaar naar een een-tweetje in Melbourne en is de enige niet-Red Bull-coureur die sinds november 2022 een race heeft gewonnen.

“Elke keer als hij een stap heeft gemaakt, hebben mensen gezegd dat het team dat hem heeft getekend een risico neemt. Elke keer presteert hij beter dan verwacht. Hij overtreft Leclerc zeker. Mensen beginnen te beseffen dat hij een serieuze kanshebber is. Hij is erg volwassen en toegewijd, slim en werkt hard en dat maakt echt het verschil. Talent alleen is niet genoeg”, aldus de enkelvoudig wereldkampioen.

Heeft Ferrari de juiste keuze gemaakt?

“Er zijn twee kampen binnen Ferrari”, vervolgt Villeneuve. ”Het ene wilde Hamilton en het andere wilde Leclerc houden. Dus Sainz was het offerlam. Ironisch genoeg komt Sainz er waarschijnlijk uit met een betere situatie. Je moet je afvragen of ze denken: ‘Wat hebben we gedaan?'”
