It's been a long time since the announcement of Carlos Sainz's dismissal, which from time to time causes a storm, that the Spaniard was taken away from Scuderia Ferrari during perhaps the best season of his life.
Many believe that the team is to blame, but now Carlos Sainz's father has spoken out and stated that Lewis Hamilton is much more to blame for the events than the red team:
"Ferrari was very happy with Carlos, but he couldn't stay because Hamilton offered himself to the team. He was the one who contacted Ferrari, not the other way around. That's why this story has developed, but it's a shame to mourn it. What I regret is that Carlos doesn't get the respect and recognition he deserves for his abilities. He had his best season, we see his best version now and he will only continue to develop. He is a racer who gets better every year, but he has a difficult time at Williams. The team was second to last among the constructors, but he is still very motivated. It was difficult to process his situation during the season, also the fact that Mercedes and Red Bull Racing didn't choose him, but you'll see what he is capable of..." - said the elder Sainz with disillusioned pride.
