Carlos Sainz and the performance of Williams This is one of the positive surprises on the first day of GP free training of Saudi Arabia of F1to the very fast circuit of Jeddah. In the absence of awareness of the true potential of all cars in classification, at the moment, Madrid ended with a good position in th -5 in free 2, to 0 “675 of the best chrono of Norris and only two tenth of the fourth place of Leclercwith him Ferrarileading the red bull of Tsunana (th -6), the Mercedes of George Russell (tho -7) and the Alpine of Pierre Gasly (th -8).
The Spanish pilot, which stepped back to the classification of Bahrain A week ago, it was still in the process of adapting to its new car, trying to find more tricks on the adjustments and their driving style to extract the full car potential. And this Friday he claimed to be finishing that work for free after conducting many trials with adjustments and his pilot style in a session in which his partner Albon was 10th, almost 3 tenth Spanish.
“It has been a positive day for us here in Jeddah. We have taken steps between Free 1 and Free 2 and we tried some things with my driving adjustments and style to try to get more in the car”He argued, who was also happy with the return he signed to FP2.
“Returning with a soft tire is a great sample of those steps and, though it’s just Friday, feeling this hard track is positive. We’ll try to follow this line tomorrow!”he said.
However, it seems difficult Carlos can aim for a top-5. This will be the track to tell if that position is true this Saturday. And Mercedes should improve after a very bad day, with Russell 7 and Antonelli in the 11th place when Brackley put all the meat on the grill.
The classification seems to have been transferred to how difficult the traffic management is on a track with so many blind and wall points, where any yellow, red or disruption flag can complicate things to anyone. Madrid’s goal is to be Q3 and to maximize its results later at 10 best in the final session.
