EXTENDED INTERVIEW | Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc chat with Martin Brundle

[@brian-yt4re]

This video is proof that longer form interviews are so much better than a couple of minutes of standard questions. Great interview where you can actually get to know the drivers rather than hearing the same trivialities that you hear in almost every other interview.

[@FFmybest]

Yep, but these are incredibly hard to organise, especially with Ferrari where you still need to send your questions in advance for censorship.

Yea can tell they respect the interviewer and want to engage, reply without thinking the person asking won't have an idea what they mean. Driver to driver peers

As opposed to fake interview?

[@zippy6667]

I think what Mike is meaning is Martin is asking the questions from a perspective of understanding what he's asking. A broadcaster may not fully understand the question they're asking prompting a less detailed response. They may know F1 intricately but don't have the perspective of being a former driver with - a good one at that!@@heathcliff8624

[@YusufEbr]

I hope he doesn't. He deserves better. Hope he makes them regret it and doesn't return.

[@antuanceh6040]

Bro thinks Ferrari would say no to Lewis. This is a serious sport. There is no preference on the side of the teams nor vengeance from the drivers. This is actually a very intelligent assumption besides all the bs they've been playing with the ongoing season. If Ferrari has a chance to get Sainz in the future, Carlos would seriously consider because being in Ferrari, means more than with other teams.

Sainz is an amazing driver and there’s no doubt he’ll have a seat at a competitive team next year. I love this driver line-up and I’m excited to see what the next couple of years holds for them. They both have the potential to be World Champions and I hope I get the chance to see them actually become one.❤️

[@SuperPassionflower]

I absolutely feel he deserves a good seat/team next season. Somehow it struck me that Carlos described himself pretty much as a team player.. would be great if he can find a team mate of the same mind set in an ambitious team. I am not saying Charles isnt team player mind you, but his path for 2025 is already set. One dream I have would be Carlos and Checo teaming up..

Dreading the day when Martin retires. What an absolute gent

[@redzone5655]

Sainz is very strategic.

[@monxx15]

Yeah I think in some ways he has what Charles lacks which for me is the brains. Charles clearly is one of if not the most naturally gifted driver on the grid which we can clearly see from his one lap pace, but when it comes to strategy and decision making you sometimes see him crumble under the pressure. Of course most of those mistakes also stem from Ferrari’s pit wall and someone could argue that making up the strategy shouldn’t be his job but either way, a champion should strive to have both

[@N_rui]

It’s also very clear how he explains things , he knows exactly how it went down and how they succeeded, honestly if i got him as a math teacher I’d easily get an A

[@piwo647]

@@monxx15 I think this "crumble under pressure" thing is vastly overblown. Charles is not as clean as Max but he also had a more challenging car to drive than Max for the past few years.

@@monxx15 Charles "crumbling under pressure" its grossly exaggerated. If the 2024 season has showed anything, its that both the drivers are very smart with their cars.

[@kertsisontare5266]

Martin's interviews are so freaking smooth lol. He just bounces from question to question like it's nothing and it's amazing to watch. What a legend. Thanks for this and thanks to the Ferrari bois for doing this as well :D. Can't wait to be a bandwagon fan next year (after McLaren of course

[@tonysargent1699]

It'll be strange not seeing Carlos in red next year, I just hope he finds a suitable drive for his talents.

[@Elena-bn6fu]

honestly, ferrari made a such a bad choice by ditching carlos. He has a lot of skills and traits that are necessary on the track and that weren't considered enough: he's a very clever, reasonable and analytical driver, who gives a lot of importance to strategy.With charles they realy balanced each other. I think this situation will turn out to be improper for the team and also for lewis since the cars they have....My only hope is that all of this will open new doors and opportunity for Carlos, who really deserves it.

[@folu12]

Charles not feeling bumps and changings in the track explains PERFECTLY why he's the fastest over 1 lap - Broski just rides curbs like they aren't there... But then explains his mis-haps like France...

[@greenfj1466]

I think in france it wasnt due to the bumps but was just him pushing the car too wide when it didnt have any grip left,A proper example would be Miami where he took far too much kerb even a new watcher could tell that much

[@Znko99]

As Mihály Csíkszentmihályi conceptualized, it is the flow state. Senna said something similar of his drive in the 1988 Monaco GP.

Sainz - really love how his maturity in the sport radiates on long interviews like this. How he thinks, the factors, the technicals, he even mentioned the budget cap. lol this guy is a gem. Idk why Ferrari dropped him tbh. Is he a threat to the team’s strategy? Idk 🤷‍♀️

[@MickayG]

I hope that IF Checo has to leave at the end of this season, RedBull replaces him with Carlos... he's a solid driver, any team would be blessed to have him.

[@the_fleeing_dutchman]

Martin is a great media person and great interviewer. He askes the right question and he always extracts quality answers. The Ferrari boys are generous with their answers, and I think that is because they answer to Martin. Thank you!

[@PrateekF1]

Ditching carlos is a bad idea ..He is a very consistent, smart, analytical driver and when charles isnt doing well he's always there, even better than charles at times. He's a solid team mate,and he's the man of Principles and he genuinely respects Ferrari and pushes the team. Its sad to carlos leaving ferrari. Maybe ferrari are cooking something extraordinary for 2026 cuz of which they signed lewis to make a strong package ..god knows!

[@greenfj1466]

I think lewis is washed,he was good in 2023 because unlike george he could handle a bad car,this year when the car is driveable he's been awfully bad.I think carlos is better than both mercedes drivers and is in my top 5 drivers on the grid

Carlos says the right things, regarding not burning bridges as a return to Ferrari could happen, Kimi returned as definite number 2 to Alonso then Vettel if he had burned his bridges it wouldn't have happened. Carlos possibly next season to Sauber definitely 2026 for complete Audi takeover and F1 entry. Seidl has openly said he wants Fernando for 2026 and I'm sure Carlos would love to.partner Alonso. Sauber have seats available for 2025 so that's were id say he's going & with his Father's long working partnership with Audi certainly works for him. Were ever Carlos won't be seating out 2025?

[@rulifaller8474]

Carlos is always very good at analyzing every situation, but he is also always very good at being a bit to positive about his race situations. The reality is that whenever he puts pressure on Max, Max is absolutely unimpressed and beats him easily. Think of Monza and Canada last year and I think Silverstone the year before. He is probably a bit afraid of Charles, but he knows he will beat Carlos every time. In Singapore Carlos and Ferrari did not put pressure on RB, RB was just nowhere and behind other teams as well.
