Carlos Sainz has admitted the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is likely to be his last chance to win a race for the next few years as he prepares his Ferrari finale before joining Williams.
The Spaniard qualified third behind the two McLarens and, with the Constructors’ Championship still in play, the Scuderia are going all out for the win.
But Sainz, 30, is keen to win for another reason altogether after tasting success in Australia and Mexico this year and wouldn’t settle for a podium place.
“No, I wouldn’t sign up for a P3 because I know we’re capable of more and I also have a bit less to lose tomorrow.
“We know we need to do more than what we did today and we’re going to go for it tomorrow, because, one, we need it for the Constructors’.
“If we want to have a shot at winning, we need to win tomorrow and one of the McLarens to have an issue and Charles to get back in the points.
“And two, I also want to win. This might be my last chance at winning in a few years and my last chance of being on a podium for a few years.”
