Sainz: Singapore driving tactics ‘worked to perfection’ for win
Carlos Sainz stated that his driving tactics during the Singapore Grand Prix were executed perfectly, leading to his victory at Marina Bay Circuit. Despite initially starting from pole position and maintaining the lead, George Russell climbed to second place during the pit stop phase under a Safety Car. Sainz intentionally drove at a slower pace to prevent Russell from gaining an advantage by pitting later in the race. However, Russell had an opportunity to attack for the lead after a Virtual Safety Car was called. Sainz once again slowed down to give McLaren’s Lando Norris DRS, successfully keeping Russell at bay. This victory also ended Red Bull’s consecutive win streak and marked Ferrari’s first win of the year, with Sainz praising Ferrari’s efforts to improve after a difficult start to the season.
