Sainz: “Suzuka has become a bit of a Monaco of fast curves”

Carlos Sainz He tried. But this is impossible. The 15º came out after a thousand Q3s on Saturday and a subsequent penalty of 3 positions. It is very complicated to score and get positions on a route where there is little damage, where rain does not appear, no accident or break and where it is very difficult to do.

The Spaniard lost his position with Hülkenberg at the beginning and could advance it up twice as fast, and after being stuck after Lawson, with a better rhythm, but without attacking him, he finally chose another approach that ends with soft tires, to attack. But this is not enough. He stayed in the distance, in the 14th -final position with a Williams with bigger than the one still fits.

“How many times have I passed Hülkenberg. First, to the fork, on Curve 11, and then to Curve 1. You have to risk. Now it’s very difficult to pass. Suzuka has become a small curve mono and advanced is very difficult. I was surprised at how difficult it was. You have it Go about 6 or 7 tenth faster than the front of the car to pass and sincerely, because the grill is tight … Yes, it’s faster than the front cars, but 2 or 3 is only tenth. To advance you need to invent something that is quite intense or unique and I have been able to do it on two or three occasions, but you will not be able to reach the points on the 15th, ”he said.

Indeed, united There is an advance in the top 10 positions, from Hamilton. They explained this to ‘ESPN’ in Spanish: “Hamilton, with a good car …”he replied. “There are little ones, only in one line if in other circuits we have three or four lines of DRs. And the cars are more grip and more aerodynamics and it has become very difficult to continue and you have to go with the many confidence of many rhythm to be a good. I made 3 or 4 good kidnapping, but they came late and passed a lot of career.”

Optimistic in your Ataptation process

In SuzukaWhere it is very difficult to continue and overcome another car, ‘Qual’ is important. And Carlos, who has improved from China, but still has things to smooth to fully adapt to his new Williams, can’t maximize his results in classification and the complex things.

“I have been stuck in all careers. The rhythm was there and I was a bit comfortable, and I had a nice rhythm, but when you came out on the 15th and when you were stuck there behind Lawson, until the second batch I could not pass itR (after the wheels changed) and this was when I could show off my rhythm a little. But it is very difficult to do, and more of the racing bulls that are very fast in a quick curve in a circuit like this, But you need to know not to fail on Saturday with stupid details while Q3 is worth me yesterday, and then, obviously, the penalty “Carlos said, optimistic to come.

“But en how much we solve the small details we can start making a little more complete and clean weekend and start marking, which is the goal, obviously ”He told ‘Dazn’.

“I keep positive. You need to improve some things still to feel a little comfortable in the car And make it easier on the weekend. But I think Let’s go in the right direction ”he added.

“Ultimately it was a matter of lying. 53 laps, here we are united with a new wing in front and no longer dangerous at the exit. I take it a little easy to pass the races, get the experience and get started, I hope so soon, a championship room, show rhythm and see what we can do “He pointed to ‘ESPN’.
