After a successful debut season in Ferrari colours in 2021, when he beat his teammate Charles Leclerc, surely the Spaniard expected more last year? While Leclerc was a very strong rival to Verstappen for the title, especially in the first half of the season, Sainz was more of a number two at Ferrari and eventually succumbed to Mercedes’George Russell in the overall standings. Still, last year brought him some nice moments. At Silverstone, he took his first career victory.
