Ever since Max Verstappen staked claim to the top spot on the podium, setting a formidable challenge for his competitors with ambitions for victory, Formula 1 has entered a particularly challenging phase. Indeed, for approximately the past year, the prospect of winning a Grand Prix has ceased to be solely dependent on one's own capabilities; it also hinges on something going amiss at Red Bull, particularly for the reigning world champion.
Out of the nineteen races won by Max Verstappen since the Miami Grand Prix in 2023, the position of ‘best of the rest' has been assumed five times each by Lando Norris and Sergio Perez, and three times by Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc.
However, on the only two occasions when circumstances didn't unfold as planned for the Dutch driver, the figure of Carlos Sainz emerged behind him, demonstrating remarkable precision in delivering standout performances on the rare instances when Max Verstappen's Red Bull exhibited vulnerabilities. The trajectories of Formula 1 drivers, as well as those of professional athletes in general, often navigate through these pivotal moments, where being in the right place at the right time is crucial.
In the case of Carlos Sainz, his presence was commanding. This was evidenced by his significant impact, highlighted by victories in last year's Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit and yesterday's race in Melbourne – triumphs that carry substantial weight and have the potential to reshape the dynamics of a Formula 1 season. For the Spaniard, who arrived in Melbourne without even the certainty of being able to participate in the race, the weekend at Albert Park was arguably his most fulfilling since entering the realm of Formula 1.
