Sainz: "We put ourselves on the contrary"

“It hasn’t been easy, really.” He said Carlos Sainz, knowing that he had successfully resolved a very difficult situation. The rider from Madrid recovered from an accident suffered in Free Practice 2 on Friday, gradually gaining confidence from the third Free Practice on Saturday and as qualifying progressed, until he fought for pole position in the tight ‘qualy’ finish in Miami.

“Because of Free 3 the truth is I’m in a hurry after a strong blow yesterday, which I didn’t quite understand. Yesterday’s strong blow took away a lot of confidence, but I’m slowly recovering from it, and in Q3 I think I’m back to where I wanted to be, doing some good sectors ”said the Spaniard.

In the last attempt, fighting to win the first pole of his career against Leclerc Y Verstappen, the man from Madrid set a record in the first sector. But he couldn’t manage that advantage of two -tenths over the rest of the lap. He lost in the crooked sector, and more importantly, in a final corner that brought him pole position. “I was missing a lot in the last corner. I tried to try something else on the last lap to see if it would make up for my losses there, but it didn’t work. Anyway, it was good progress and a good place to start tomorrow.” , he added before the ‘DAZN F1’ microphones on Miami.

Carlos will start second this Sunday (9:30 pm) at Miami in a compromised position, behind his partner Leclercand precedes Verstappenwho wants to reduce the share of the 27-point deficit he has in the Monegasque leader world. Sa ferrari Carlos and. Have always agreed Charlesbut always made it clear that they couldn’t afford to play with fire and the team’s well -being was beyond individual goals.

So far, Carlos must save the first blow at the start, defending the double of ferrari in view of Verstappen discharge on the dirty part. Subsequently, it is necessary to see if Ferrari can defend against Red Bull on the straight and if it is really possible to overtake on a track where the grip outside the good line is absent.

“We will have to see how the dirty side is that I start from, because the truth is super dirty outside the line. But it is important to make a good quality. We put ourselves in the fight for tomorrow. I still don’t know how the car runs on high gas. I don’t know how I’m going to go tomorrow with wheels. I haven’t tried yet and I’m going to go blind in the race. But I’ve done well in the past doing this, so I’m going to try it ”, concluded Carlos, who wanted to fight for his first win.
