Carlos Sainz can sign his second post at of GPs Hungary. He has been riding at a high level ever since Monaco and he came from being very fast in France, with great confidence in his car. I knew I could fight for pole position and on the track everything seemed fine, occupying the first position in Q3. But since the clock is already at zero, George Russell gave the chime that brought his Mercedes on the pole Because of this, the Spaniard could not hide his “failure”. On the one hand, the man from Madrid can be satisfied with his good performance and for being faster than Leclerc. But he knew he had to crush and sign the post, that he had it in his hands to do it.
Carlos He made sure that he had some whiplashes in the last sector of his last lap and he was sure that if he had done a perfect lap he would have got pole. The water that fell throughout the day also had something to do with what happened. Qualifying was dry but the track was completely different: clean, green, with less rubber and cooler. According to Carlos, this could have stripped Ferrari of its huge advantage over its rivals on Friday.
“I felt that now almost everything was under control. Throughout qualifying, we were making steps in the right direction, and they gave me more and more confidence and unity with the car. And we did some good laps . But that second lap (the last one) was nothing special and it wasn’t enough for pole position. I’m a bit disappointed because with a perfect lap I would have been on top for sure. But I think George did a very good job that lap and he deserved it. So congratulations”, commented the Madrilenian in the following press conference.
“The track conditions changed, and especially with the soft tires it didn’t fall on our side, because on Friday we had a pace advantage that we don’t have today in Q1 or Q2, we don’t have that margin that we had. It was difficult for us to lift the temperature of the tires in one lap here and we weren’t particularly happy with the car’s handling. But with a perfect lap I could have put him there. That’s why I’m a little disappointed”, added the Spaniard in a press conference.
HIS GOOD STATE OF FORM WITH FERRARI
“Without a doubt, I feel better and better in every race and in every qualifying session. Now I thought I had the speed for that pole, but in the last sector we had some whiplash. Congratulations to George because he had a good lap and tomorrow we will start in second,” he said in a press conference.
ADVANCE IS DIFFICULT THIS WEEK
“We have the pace and obviously the start and tire management will be key, as always. Mercedes’ pace is a bit of a question mark but we have to see how the race develops, but if we can catch it at the start, all the better. This will be an exciting race.
