unbelievable : Carlos Sainz Breaks Silence After Wife …
Gerhard Berger, a noted former Ferrari driver himself, weighed in on the matter, expressing his sympathies for Sainz. He explained, as quoted by GPBlog:

In the world of Formula 1, changes within teams can have seismic impacts on the careers of even the most talented drivers.
