Mistake by Sainz and his team: “I was the first to cross the finish line…”

Carlos Sainz there will be a difficult ballot this Sunday. The Spaniard wants to fight for victory in Singapore, but he has to start from fourth place on the track where it is more difficult to overtake after Monaco, it is not the best to go for the win. The man from Madrid remained 0″171 off the best time of LeclercSurpassed by Perez Y hamilton. All this, due to a miscalculation of his wall, because he crossed the finish line too early, before his rivals, something that judged him by how much he improved the track second by second.

“It was quite a chaotic qualifier, with a lot of traffic in Q1 and Q2, without making a good lap. Then in Q3 I think we were right on the tires, starting with soft. But the last lap I was the first to pass the goal and here to what improves the track, well It’s clear that those coming from behind will make you grow”commented the pilot from Madrid.

“These are things we must continue to improve, because ideally you want to be the last one to cross the finish line and I think I was the first one and I didn’t know that I had one more lap because they didn’t tell me. To improve on that side. However, I stayed a tenth and a half from the pole, so I didn’t make a mistake.”pointed out Carlos, as that miscalculation cost him the chance to fight for pole position.

“Expectations? Come back, try to get to the podium. We came out of the rooms. I hope to make a good start and fight for the podium. And if you can win…” added Sainz, noting that two different films will be shown during the race this Sunday: “I think it’s a circuit where anything or nothing can happen. It’s either a lot of ‘Safety Cars’ or a boring race because you don’t get overtaken very much. So let’s see what we see tomorrow .”
