Pépé Martí This is the great hope for the future of Spanish motorsport. Called to become a Formula 1 driver and, of course, he has references. Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz.
“First of all, These are references. After the weekend that Carlos experienced, he took pole position with a spectacular lap and then won the race also by leading 10 with practically no errors, because it is clear that they are drivers to watch. Drivers we can be super proud of. And obviously from whom I can learn a lot, so these are references for me and I hope that one day we can share the flag on the track with the three of us,” Martí said in ‘Marca’.
And when asked what qualities he would “steal” from both, he explains it very well: “For me, the qualities of Fernando adaptability to any situationany car, any tire. “I think that’s something spectacular about Fernando.”
“From Carlos, resilience. I think he is a driver who has always taken the advantage in the face of adversity. When he had difficult colleagues who always told him he couldn’t stand up to them, he always did and those were big words. It is therefore clear that he is a driver who mentally has impregnable strength and who also, as I said, grows in the face of adversity and always knows how to achieve the best performance,” explains the very young Spanish driver.
He does not feel “pressure” to “be forced” to arrive in Formula 1: “Well, It’s not pressure For me, I see it more as pride. In the end, I am part of a nation that has two great drivers in Formula 1 and I hope that one day I can be part of that list.”
“For me, it’s not an additional pressure. I’m lucky to be one of the privileged 22 who are presenting themselves Formula 2 and I hope that one day I will also be one of the 20 racing in Formula 1, so we will see, but I don’t see it as extra pressure,” says the Spaniard.
