Carlos Sainz He has already shown his doubts about the tires after finishing 2nd in the qualifying session. Something strange is happening with the wheels. They are very difficult to understand. “It was a bit of a strange situation this weekend with the tires and the pit exit lap. We didn’t quite understand it.”, said Carlos after being second in the classification. And after Sunday’s race, the Madrid native once again seemed surprised by the performance of the tires in his first race session, with the mediocre compound not working as it should.
“The second half for me was obviously better compared to the first, in terms of pace. At first I had a strange medium tyre, which already had a bit of grain from the first lap., and I’ve had a lot of trouble with the front tire. This is something that needs to be checked and seen, because it is really unique. And then, on the hard tire, as soon as I put it on I felt better and I was on a good run.”said Sainz on ‘DAZN F1’.
The Madrid driver was happy with the 4th place, which together with the 3rd place of Charles Leclerc, he considered the most that the ‘rosso’ team from Mexico could catch in an event where there were two stalled starts . Carlos could not fight for the podium with Hamilton, who had great pace, but he managed to hold off Russell’s Mercedes in the second part of the event.
“The two of them are so messed up. With touches, in many things that happened. We both managed to save them and then nothing, the race was a bit boring on my part. I couldn’t push the whole race because of the temperature, I had to lift a lot on the straights. I think third and fourth was the most we could do with the Ferrari and we brought it home. Good points for the championship which is for Brazil”commented the Madrid native, who revealed that he had a problem that prevented him from pushing on the straights, related to the cooling of the car, one of the biggest complications in Mexico due to the lower air density.
