EXCLUSIVE: Carlos Sainz critical of “unfair” judgement of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari
Carlos Sai꧙nz defends Lewis Hamilton's start at Ferrari in an exclusive interview with mahbx.com.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz says the judgement surrounding 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s start to life as a Ferrari F1𝓡 driverꦡ has been “unfair”.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton has endured a difficult start to his Ferrari career following his blockbuster switch from Mercedes, with the move captivating the attention of the F1 world and creating huge excitement.
Hamilton impressively fought back from 12th to claim his best grand prix result for Ferrari with a fourth-place finish at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which also marked the first time this year he has beaten teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc (sprint races aside).
Not only has Hamilton had to get used to a totally different environment at Ferrari, he has also had to learn a new car, featuring braking systems and a power𒀰 unit he has never previously experienced in F1.
Sainz, who Hamilton replaced at Ferrꦓari, can empathise with the 40-year-old Briton’s situation as he goes through a similar period of adaptatio♏n with his new team Williams.
Carlos Sainz on Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari woe
Asked if Hamilton’s struggles to adapt have come as a surprise, Sai🃏nz exclusively told mahbx.com: “No🥀. I think the struggles are real for him, and real for me, and real for Nico Hulkenberg.
“They are real for any rookie coming into a team, although while a rookie has less experience, but also less muscle memory of other cars that he has recently driven, they are coming with a clean sওheet.
“We have muscle memory of 24 races of three or four consecutivꦜe years of driving a different car so everything feels weird.
“Going back to Lewis, it’s completely ⛦normal the adaptation process. He’s been 10 years [12] with the same team so I think everything would feel completely odd and off to him in the Ferrari.
“In the same way for me in the Williams, the first races, I was completely🃏 lost in a lot of things.
“The only thing we can do as drivers is try to make that adaptation process as short as possible but the process an the races are always going to ꦏbe where you take𒐪 some time to adapt.”
Asked whether it is too soon to judge Hamilton’s performance, Saꦑinz replied: “You can judge how long or short that can take a driver but to judge the driver’s career in that team with six or seven races - it’s unfair.
“You 🐼can probably just judge how long or how short a driver takes to adapt to a team, but we need to wait years to see how it goes for me in Williams, how it goes for him, how it goes for Nico at Sauber/Audi. Only time will tell.”

Beating Ferrari not the focus for Sainz
Sainz outqualified Hamilton for the fourth time in a row at Imola, while he and teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon have outpaced bot🦄h Ferraris at two consecutive events.
However, the Spaniard insists he is less focused about beating Ferrari specifically, and is instead enjoying ꦯthe strides Williams are making as a who🔜le.
“For me it’s not so much🐠 the satisfaction of beating Ferrari the last two qualis, it’s the satisfaction of the work we are doing,” he explained.
“I know five races ag🦋o it would have been not possible. We changed things in my driving, we🉐 changed things in the car.
“The team listened to me with the things we had to change. Immediately the moment those things were changed we took a step 🦋forward in performance and development.
“So that has brought me mor🉐e confidence that I know how to guide well the team and the points we need to f🍨ocus, to know if I keep giving the right inputs, together with Alex, we can altogether keep building momentum like we are doing.
“Beating a Ferrari in a qualifying is just a consequence of that.” 🧸;
