"Ferrari, farewell gift to Sainz: he will have the F1-75 from his first victory"

they are getting rid of their championship karma by finally treating a driver well till the end good so that Lewis can win his 8th!

At the end of the day the only thing that matters is that these goodbyes in Abu Dhabi, in Maranello, at all his favourite spots to visit and to eat around Maranello clearly show how much of an impact Carlos made on people there not just as a driver but as a person too, and I appreciate so much how they openly showed their love for him these past week. Whether Fred organized the day in Fiorano for pr or because he wanted to show his appreciation for Carlos this way is debatable, but still it was the least he could do and he did it so that deserves some recognition (without forgetting that he and Elkann pursued Lewis while stringing Carlos along). Now I hope Carlos will never have to experience people going behind his back again ever in his life, there’s been enough of that��

Yes I agree, Carlos made an impact in Ferrari and in Maranello, and of course people appreciate him and love him, you can clearly see that, my problem with Ferrari was never with the workers but with the management.

About what they did for his farewell, two things can coexist, they did it because they appreciate him but it also benefits Ferrari's image.

Fiorano Test Completed: 7 Drivers, 500 Laps, & 1,500km

Scuderia Ferrari’s five days of testing at Fiorano ended recently, with Mick Schumacher driving in the morning and test driver Callum Ilott taking over for the afternoon. No fewer than seven drivers took part in the test: apart from Mick and Callum, the others were the official race drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, the latter making his track debut with the Prancing Horse, Robert Shwartzman and Marcus Armstrong. Giuliano Alesi also bid farewell to the Ferrari Driver Academy, having his first drive in a Formula 1 car, 30 years on from his father Jean’s debut with the team. 

Over the five days, the SF71H completed over 500 laps, equivalent to more than 1500 kilometers. It was a useful experience for the drivers and also for the team, enabling the crew to get back in the swing of racing, testing all the procedures for the coming season, which at least for the first part will be the same as last year’s, with personnel split into sub-groups and bubbles and having to wear masks as part of the Covid-19 protocols.

Mick and Callum. Mick went out on track shortly after 9.30 and completed a further fifty or so laps, the same as the previous afternoon, all together equivalent to a Grand Prix distance. Watching proceedings from the pits was Maya Weug, the first girl to join the Ferrari Driver Academy and James Wharton, who won the FDA Scouting World Finals. Then, from 13.21 Callum Ilott, who finished second to Mick in the 2020 Formula 2 championship, took over at the wheel of the SF71H. This was the youngster from Oxford’s second run in the 2018 car, after driving it last year on 30 September at the #RoadToF1 test, in which Schumacher and Robert Shwartzman also took part. Callum did almost 50 laps, getting through the entire program prepared by the team without any problems.

On track in March. The Scuderia now resumes preparations for the coming season back in the factory. The Ferrari drivers will be back on track in Bahrain in mid-March.
