Carlos Sainz It started in the best way F1 Singapore GP 2023leading the second free practice session with the best time on Friday, with an advantage of 18 thousandths over his teammate Charles Leclerc. Ferrari started on a very good foot from the first lap. The times were easy from Free Practice 1 and the car continued to progress in the second session, now in the evening and on the track with lower scores. The red team was surprised. He learned from his mistakes with his highly loaded package Zandvoort and appeared in Singapore presenting candidacy for a key post in the Marina Bay, a circuit where it is very difficult to reach. so, Carlos wants to go for his second pole in a row after his exhibition of monza after a day he described as “positive”.
“It was a positive Friday. From the first lap of Free Practice 1, I felt the car was working well, so in Free Practice 2 we focused on fine-tuning the settings,” Carlos Sainz announced in a statement from the Italian team.

Carlos will need to go to pole well armed this Saturday and the question is whether Red Bull and Verstappen can keep up with the red cars for a lap after a Friday where Max suffered more than the rest of the Majors. Verstappen said “the difference is huge” and “the Ferraris seem very fast.”
Max is confident that Red Bull will improve, but he doesn’t know if it will be enough to fight Sainz and Leclerc. Ferrari may, surprisingly and unexpectedly, face the best opportunity of the year. The question of race speed and breakdown remains, as drivers like Alonso have shown better cards in that area. But here, pole is important and grid position determines the final result more than in other events.
The Madrid native will go for the first starting position on Sunday with everyone. He wants to continue in a big way after two big performances in Zandvoort and Italy.
