Chinese GP '25 // Thurs Interview
“[On his crash in Australia] On my way back from the car to the paddock, (I beat myself up). Then, once I had a look at the data and saw what happened, I felt a lot more relieved... There's still these very small details that sometimes, in 99% of the cases, will not [catch] you out, but the first time that you run a certain mode, with certain quality of upshift, in certain low grip situations that, obviously, I've never experienced before in this team, it caught me out. And it meant a very bad ending to what had been, until then, a positive weekend. So, we learn from it. But it's these kind of experiences that you need to go through to make steps with the team and to move forward and progress.”

This is the cutest thing ever, Pierluigi explains how he and Carlos met for the first time, saying that they started working in 2021 when due to Covid Rupert could not leave England. Carlos asked Ferrari for help and since they had a contract with Med-Ex (the agency Pierluigi works for) they found Pierluigi who basically followed with Carlos Rupert’s program.
Very adorable is the last part though, which I think deserves its own translation.
“Just the other day we were just talking about our first session together. When he [Carlos] entered I couldn’t even greet him and I just realised [how great it was] when we started training together”
HE WAS A NERVOUS BABY
IN FRONT OF CARLITOS
THE CARLITOS HE NOW KISSES ON THE CHEEK BEFORE EVERY RACE
CARLOS SAINZ FORMULA 1 TEAMS (so far)
TORO ROSSO (2015-2017)
RENAULT (2017-2018)
MCLAREN (2019-2020)
FERRARI (2021-2024)
WILLIAMS (2025-Present)
carlos spun out of the race due to a sudden torque surge, and no fault of his own, and still proceeded to go back to the pit walls and make calls regarding strategy that resulted in alex finishing in p4. people need to quit comparing and pitting the two against each other and instead look at what they're doing for the team. carlos is a big part of how much the car has improved from last year, and alex has been loyal to the team for years and is very deserving of his good result today. if you're doing anything other than celbrate williams' p4 in the team standings above some big teams, shut up.
"Carlos has won a race more recently than anyone else in this team, and he is one of the best drivers in the world, full stop."
James said stfu
carlos not only being acknowledged and praised for his contribution in race strategy by the team principal but also being thanked by his teammate for it ? oh we prayed for times like this
carlos using williams’ pre race podcast to speak so earnestly about the impermanence and instability that comes with life while racing and travelling for racing and how he eventually has come to think of home as a person and then put roots down after struggling to do so for so long and wishing the same to happen for alex soon oh my god. my baby boy. i love you so much you’re a beautiful little freak
