To give his idea of what to expect in Austria, Carlos Sainz presented the Spielberg weekend like this: “I think our pace in Austria will depend a lot from the characteristics of the track: I think our pace always varies due to this factor. We have seen it after all in places like Monaco or Canada, where we have demonstrated that we are strong, while on tracks with high-speed corners like Barcelona, we struggled a little more. Therefore I believe we will see different variations in our competitiveness for this weekend and beyond."
