A real shame for Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard showed great speed all weekend at Paul Ricard at his wheel ferrari, with less balance problems than his teammate Leclerc. However, the Monegasque will start this Sunday from pole and Carlos He will do it from the bottom of the grid, from 19th place. The fault, the problem of the Austrian engine, which has more effect than the abandonment of that race. Because of this, he changed the engine at this appointment, a test in which he drives like angels. From being able to fight for pole to being the squire role and helping Charles to have a slipstream in his last two laps of Q3 which was very important for Charles done on the post before Verstappen.
“Probably in terms of speed, this is my best weekend so far, doing first yesterday Friday, first in Q2 with a small margin… I think this weekend has the potential to do the pole , but it’s time to punish and it’s slipstream, which I think helped. And we have a good weekend so far and tomorrow it’s time to go back”, Carlos Sainz pointed out in the statements on ‘DAZN F1’, who wanted to send a message to all the unity between him, Charles and the rest of the group after the controversy that arose because of what happened in appointments like Monaco or Silverstone because of the strategy of the team.
“We worked well as a team, because we worked all year, which is still not appreciated enough that both Charles and I worked as a team all year”, commented Carlos, without being able (or wanting) to give a clear answer in terms of strategy for this Sunday, where it is expected that Ferrari may suffer more from tire wear as it is a track with more demand for front tires ( Ferrari performs better on tracks where the limit is on the rear wheels).
“It will have to be seen. The truth is that the hard tire is a slightly slower tire. It will not be easy if we decide to start tomorrow with that tire for the first laps. But then the average seems to be going well, not bad soft… quite a few strategy choices, a very long pit lane, and then we have to see which is the best option”, concluded. Carlos, who had to come back from 19th position in search of minimizing losses.
