Carlos Sainz trust the options ferrari to fight for victory against Max Verstappen in Netherlands GP this Sunday. The Dutchman overcame his problems on Friday and took pole on Sunday with just 21 thousandths of a lead over charles leclerc (2nd) and has 92 thousandths of margin over Carlos Sainz (3rd). The Spaniard will start third with the hope that the fight will be even for all, at the same time aware that the Mercedes (Hamilton is 4th and Russell6th) are in the ‘ointment’ because of the great speed they are expected to have.
“We start in a good position tomorrow and we look forward to doing it”, he pointed out to ‘DAZN F1’, highlighting the complications that all drivers will have on the Dutch track of Zandvoort. “It will be a tough race for sure. Especially because there is a lot of degradation, a lot of wind, which makes it very chaotic at every corner and also there is a possibility of rain tomorrow. So many things can happen.”
SURPRISED BY FERRARI’S FINAL IMPROVEMENT IN Q3
“Like Charles after Q1 and Q2, Max seemed to be behind us and Red Bull seemed to win. Then, I was surprised by how much we won in Q3. Probably that first lap should have been stronger to give me references for the second round of Q3 I improved three tenths but a lap on the bench would be better for me in the second round.
SHARP OF THE RACE
“In the qualy we reached tenth. If the race is like this for 70 laps, we will be close. Usually on Sundays Red Bull and Mercedes seem to have something there that we haven’t had recently. If we were to go back to France and Austria, we would have been different on Sunday. Hopefully it will be like those races and we can stand by Max throughout the race.”
WAIT FOR THE MERCEDES AT THE FIGHT
“Yes, I think they will be as fast as us in the race. After the stops, it will be a good battle with the other cars”.
LONGEST DRS ZONE
“Will it make overtaking easier? It will be easier. These cars should be easier to follow and a few hundred meters more DRS will make it a bit easier than last year. It’s hard to overtake, but I hope it’s better”.
