Ferrari star berates disrespectful Italian fans over Mad Max booing
Carlos Sainz is gunning to end dominant Max Verstappen’s record run of Formula One wins after delighting Ferrari’s passionate army of home fans by claiming pole position for the Italian Grand Prix.
“It’s just amazing you know, the whole weekend really. Since we arrived here on Wednesday the support and the feeling with the crowd and the energy they put into us is incredible,” Sainz told reporters. Leclerc moved towards the fence and waved a finger at the fans, motioning for them to show some respect to the Red Bull star and keep quiet.
“We’ve got the motivation and the energy to do it. The car has been very good all weekend, especially over one lap,” added Sainz. Dutchman Verstappen still has a great chance to break the record of nine straight GP wins he shares with four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel after winning a dramatic race on home soil in Zandvoort last weekend.Verstappen has won 11 of the 13 races so far this year and leads Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, who is the only other driver to win this season and finished 0.394sec back in fifth, by 138 points in the drivers’ standings.
