Questions about Ferrari regret 'annoying'

(GMM) Carlos Sainz Jr. says being asked if he regrets his 2021 move to Ferrari is now becoming “annoying”.

The current McLaren driver was signed up by Ferrari in May – amid F1’s covid lockdown and weeks before the full extent of the Maranello team’s 2020 slump was evident.

Sainz was asked by motorsport-magazin.com if he is finding all the questions from the media about his Ferrari move “annoying”.

“The only thing that annoys me a little is that you already know the answers to some questions,” he said. “I don’t know why I’m being asked again as I answer the same as I did a month earlier.”

When asked if the most annoying question is about any Ferrari-signing ‘regret’, the 26-year-old confirmed: “Yes, that is one of the most popular ones.

“I think you know the answer.”

Indeed, Sainz says he is looking forward to the move to Ferrari – which will even see him relocate from England to a European base close to Maranello.

“Yes, that’s on the agenda for the end of the year,” he confirmed.

“I’m going to move to Italy to spend more time there. I see being close to the team as an important part of my good time at McLaren. Definitely,” Sainz added.
