Carlos Sainz in qualifications of the Qatar GP 2024 it doesn't improve and it just starts 7th in the race. Despite the location, the times of Red Bull, McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari are all very close. Between race strategy and tire degradation, we need to understand what will happen in the race tomorrow. Above all, we will see if the fight for the constructors' title will be postponed to the last race in Abu Dhabi or won, already tomorrow, by Scuderia Papaya.
Carlos Sainz's words after Qatar qualifying
Carlos Sainz This is his penultimate race with the Prancing Horse, so he is trying to enjoy as much as possible what the car can give to him and the team. His Q3 but it doesn't go particularly well or as hoped especially if the teammate starts in 5th position. The drivers' times are all close, a detail that gave a rather hard-fought Q3, awarding the pole to the thousandth.

"It seems like we were at the limit. Too bad. I think we gave it our all. In Q3 I missed the slipstream, but we're there. We're missing those two/three tenths that we thought we were missing before we got here."
"The race is tomorrow and the points are tomorrow. The race pace is better than the pace we had in qualifying. We were behind a McLaren and a Mercedes in the Sprint. However, we will fight to gain as many points as possible, keeping in mind that this is not a track that is favorable to us.»
