Italian journalist points out “Carlos Sainz could have been world championship leader”. Leo Turrini's analysis of Australian GP.

Italian journalist and Ferrari insider Leo Turrini commented on the Australian Grand Prix in the latest article posted on his blog, focusing on Scudera Ferrari’s one-two finish at the 5.278-kilometre Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne.

Leo Turrini’s Analysis

Here is race analysis of the Italian journalist “Endless Red Dawn. Carlos Sainz was simply monstrous. Until the end, I feared he might suffer a physical decline due to appendicitis aftereffects.”

“Now I’m here suggesting we should also remove the Spaniard’s gallbladder before Suzuka,” he joked. “That way, he might win there too. Now, appendicitis jokes aside, if [Sainz, ed] had been able to race in Saudi Arabia, even achieving a decent result, today he would be the world championship leader.”

“I’m not interested in the inevitable discussions about the choices made in Maranello for the future: I understand them, they make sense, and they will continue to. But not today, come on. Leclerc did well. I imagine he’s kicking himself for Saturday, but Carlos Sainz’s triumph is perfect. The Ferrari was also perfect. The car, obviously. And the management of the pit stops. It’s been two years since Ferrari last secured a 1-2. This is the first double of the Fred Vasseur era. Now a response is urgently needed. Soon,” he concluded about the Scuderia.

Leo Turrini’s Hopes

These are the words written by Leo Turrini on his blog regarding Red Bull: “As for Max Verstappen’s retirement and Sergio Pérez’s anonymous performance, I’m under no illusions.” But, yes. The Drink Vendors [a nickname used to mock Red Bull, which originated in the energy drink market, ed] might not be invincible samurais. Maybe. Anyway, don’t wake me up,” he added. “The Ferrari one-two coincides with a Red Bull defeat. As for Verstappen, it had been since Australia 2022 that he finished all races, and almost always in first place. Something happened,” Leo Turrini concluded.
