Quotes
 
"It was a great weekend all along and to be able to celebrate a podium with the tifosi is the perfect icing on the cake," Sainz Jr., who is placed fifth on the World Drivers' Championship standings, said after the 2023 Italian Grand Prix.
 
"I really want to thank every single one of them for their endless support. They are very special! Today I did everything I could to try to keep both Red Bulls behind, using my tyres to the limit and pushing for the entire race. 
 
"Unfortunately, they still have the edge over us on race day and P3 was the maximum today. We had good battles on track with them and with Charles and I hope people enjoyed it as much as I did," he added.
 
"Now we have some time to regroup and start preparing for Singapore as soon as possible."
