Sainz, conditioned by a breakdown: “It was a difficult day”

Date:

Carlos Sainz sees his weekend conditioned to Dutch GP due to a gearbox problem in Free Practice, which prevented him from testing the soft tyrewho also did not test in Free Practice 1, and above all, was left barely running in a session with more representative conditions for Sunday’s race. You must row upstream from the ‘qualy’. The Spaniard was fourth in the first free practice, where only the last 10 minutes could be dry, although in conditions that could still be improved.

“Today was not an easy day. This morning, due to the bad weather, we did not ride well and, unfortunately, in FP2 we had a problem with the gearbox in the first run, so in general I could not turn many.”Carlos said at the end of the day.

“Tomorrow we will try to make up for lost time and gain confidence on the track. We have work to do to close the gap to those at the top”he pointed out.

Leclerc, far away

However, things are not looking good for Ferrari, who seem to remain far from the top three teams waiting for a long-awaited package of improvements. Undeterred, his teammate Charles Leclerc finished 9th, 7 tenths behind the best time set by Russell.

“It’s been tough, as expected, I’d say. We haven’t caught up to the pace of our rivals at the front, but I think it’s better than what we see now on the timesheets. We have work to do to get somewhere where we can fight for victory,” said Charles.

“I will do everything to make the most of qualifying, but the gaps we have right now are too big to do anything special. If we can get close to within 2 or 3 tenths, maybe we can fight for a good position. in the classification, If no, I see a tough weekend for us”said the Monegasque.
