End of year to forget for Carlos Sainz. The Madrid native, the only one capable of beating Red Bull in a long race in all of 2023, lost fourth place and suffered two serious accidents in both Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, the latter test in which he was left without points and retired.
Test in which he hit the wall in Free Practice 2. In which he suffered a spectacular blow due to the tremendous ‘porpoising’ and the dirty air he had in his Ferrari. In Las Vegas, his entire weekend was marked by what happened in the first training sessions.
In them, a culvert poorly fixed to the asphalt completely destroyed his Ferrari, also entailing a penalty for having to change several parts in his car.
All of this has meant that expenses on repairs on your car have skyrocketed. That they have skyrocketed so much until they are the second one that has had to spend the most on this matter in the entire World Cup. Ahead of him, only Logan Sargeant.
Verstappen, the one who least
Sainz, or rather Ferrari, has spent more than 3.6 million euros on repairs on his car. Williams’, 4.3. On the podium, along with the two, Sergio Pérez with 3.2.
In that sense, if he had not suffered the accident in Las Vegas, which was not his fault, expenses would have been reduced by practically 1.4 million… which would leave Sainz in the middle of the table in this regard.
As for Fernando Alonso, he is the fourth who has spent the least with 830,000 euros. And yes, Verstappen closes the list with expenses that do not even reach 350,000.
Max has practically not had a single damage in the entire World Cup, except for some slight brushes against the walls of Saudi Arabia and Monaco.
