Even though Ferrari had a strong start with three wins at the beginning of the season, things changed rather quickly. Red Bull had some struggles with their car, initially. Max had claimed that their car wasn’t the best at the start of the season, however, they worked around their shortcomings and things got better.

The Dutchman was confident in catching up with the Ferrari team, as they were the ones to beat. However, to his surprise, he moved up the ladder sooner than he’d determined to! Max bagged a record of 14 wins in a season with his last win in Mexico City. Red Bull holds both the season titles, including the driver’s and the constructors’ for the current season.
Carlos Sainz is all praises for the team for having bagged their much deserving wins even though the season hasn’t wrapped up yet. In a recent interview, he said, “I don’t think I need to [give] any more [praise] to Max for what he’s done this year, because I think it’s pretty obvious that he’s done a very good job.”
“Everyone can see how good he has performed and how well he’s executed this season, especially after not an easy start of the season with a couple of DNFs.They managed to recover and put together a lot of wins, a lot of good moments through the year.”
“Congratulations to him, congratulations to Red Bull, because they fully deserve it,” he concluded.
Even though Carlos is amazed at Max’s performance this year, he warms him that he’d be coming for him.

He said, “Of course, I wish I had felt more comfortable in the car in the first few races, to make it a little more complicated for Max and to be able to fight a little more with Charles. My goal is to be at today’s level right from the start next year so that I can make it a little harder for Max.”
Sainz is confident that Ferrari will come up with a better car for the new season, and that the Scuderia team will learn and emerge from their mistakes from the past.
