Ferrari has said Carlos Sainz\u2019s tactic in slowing down deliberately to keep Lando Norris within DRS range in Formula 1\u2019s Singapore Grand Prix was entirely the Spaniard\u2019s idea.
"It was the idea of Carlos," said team principal Fred Vasseur."I don't want to say it's obvious, but he knew he was more at risk with Mercedes than with Norris.
Press Conference with Lando Norris, McLaren Carlos Sainz, Scuderia Ferrari Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes-AMG"There was, in particular, one lap that I think Lando defended into Turn 16-17, and then I had to slow down a lot into Turn 1-2-3 to give him DRS again. I think that move actually saved my race, saved also Lando's P2, because I feel like if not I would have been also dead meat.
"In terms of car and driving understanding, I think before the summer break there was this already decent feeling with everything," he said. "Zandvoort was a very good weekend. Monza was almost perfect and here I feel like it was the perfect one. Makes me very happy and proud that when you work, you analyse, and you also have the speed like I've had this weekend, it is always paying off."
