Australian Grand Prix 'Hell Of Advert' For Sainz's Talents

Martin Brundle praised the Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz after the third race of the 2024 season, which he called "hell of an advert' for his talents.

As we've seen in the past, if Sainz wins a race, he tends to do it in a spectacular way. His win number three will surely be remembered for a long time as he did it just two weeks after appendix surgery.

The Spaniard started from P2, overtook Max Verstappen (who retired shortly after), and then controlled the race from the front with a super-strong pace.

On the last few laps, Sainz admitted on his team radio that he didn't feel great. He was probably really exhausted, as he didn't have time to prepare for the race because he was focusing on recovery.

Nevertheless, the Spaniard brought home a victory for Ferrari, which was sealed by Charles Leclerc, who crossed the finish line in second place with the fastest lap. This meant the team from Maranello achieved maximum points at Albert Park Circuit. 

Martin Brundle wrote in his column for Sky Sports after the weekend that seeing Sainz ahead of the race didn't really give him the impression that the 29-year-old could challenge for the win, but he was proven wrong.

Leclerc acknowledged Sainz's incredible performance after the race, admitting the Spaniard was faster. He also revealed that the 29-year-old will surely find himself a spot as he is already in talks with multiple team principals. Bundle added:
