The Spanish Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), fifth in Formula One World Championship and who set the best time this Friday on the free practice day for Singapore Grand Prixthe seventeenth of the year, stated in the circuit of Marina Bay that they need to “optimize everything for the battle, which will be tough”.
“Today was a busy first day here in Singapore,” commented Sainz, 28, who is fifth in the championship, with 187 points, 148 less than the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who turned 25 this Friday and is one step away from reaffirming his world title, something that was mathematically certified this Sunday.
“We were able to complete our entire program, but we also had to face some challenges, especially with the set-up and balance of the car,” said the talented driver from Madrid, who this year achieved his first victory in F1 by winning the mythical Silverstone (England), where he has thirteen podium finishes.
“We didn’t find the right window for the first free practice but we improved the feeling in the car in the second,” he explained.
“We still have work ahead of us, to find lap times, especially for long runs”said the Spaniard from Ferrari after setting the best time in free practice.
“It looks like we are ready for a tough battle from the top so we must try to optimize all aspects this weekend”Sainz said this Friday at the Marina Bay circuit.
