Sainz Confesses How He Feels About Exit From Ferrari

"It's my fourth year in Ferrari, we've been three years working together, and the fact that all this hard work and all the time that I've spent in Maranello helping this team and developing together with this team, it's a project that now is starting to pay off and we starting to show progress."

"Together with the engineers, with Charles [Leclerc] and Fred [Vasseur], and the fact that we're performing better as a team, it's given me a car that I trust more, and all this feedback from the last few years is put together and delivering this makes me feel very happy about this year."

"And a bit sad about the fact that we cannot continue the journey together because I feel like, in a way, we were doing a good job together, and everything was taking its correct shape into the future and the revolution change of '26."

"But that's life. That's how life has decided to go. It was not my decision and not my first choice, but it might mean that there's something even better to come in the future."
