It wasn't one qualification amazing for Carlos Sainz. In home Ferrari, if on one side there are those who shine like Leclerc, on Saturday in Singapore the performance of the is not very convincing Spaniard who will however start from fourth place.
Sainz: "Everything done too fast"
After a good Friday, which saw him close in command in the FP2, the feeling is that Sainz has never really been in the game to reach pole position during this qualifying. The Spanish rider tried to explain what happened in his post.
"It's amazing how much a tenth and a half gap can change things. Today we were tight and I know exactly where we lost these tenths, if you look at the on board it is clear. Too bad we made the rounds very early. There were still two minutes of the session left and the track dried quickly, there was some time that could still be found at the end. Those are all things we need to keep looking at to make them better. In general though, I can't be too critical if I'm only a tenth and a half behind. Qualifying was easy for me to read: you needed the soft in Q3 and then be the last one to do the lap. The track, however, was difficult and putting a ride together was tricky. We've already been fighting for pole for two or three qualifying sessions, what's missing is the race pace. Let's see tomorrow how we are".
