His teammate, horse no. 16, posted a good first time in the qualifying session which ended last night in Mexico and him? Carlos Sainz finished excellent qualifying in Città del Mexico, sealing a Ferrari front row for the first time in a year, he who was pole-man in Monza, in front of the fans this year, says he didn't have the opportunity to do the lap. Let's hear it…
Pole position just missed
A few hundredths of a second separated him from the pole position in Mexico and his teammate. An SF-23 that performed very well in qualifying, so much so that the two riders performed better than all the others. However, the two drivers from Maranello did not expect to start from the front like this tomorrow.
"I can't explain it, it was a very difficult weekend, I didn't have any clean laps, even in the last attempts. It is hard to explain."
Both Ferrari drivers complain about the lack of perfect conditions to push hard, traffic, tyres, individual errors, a series of factors that did not help put the pieces together to understand the true potential of the car.
Sainz, dream qualifying in Mexico but in the race..
Carlos Sainz knows about the rumors going around the paddock and which are on the lips of the fans, in Ferrari there are two rival factions, Carlos on one side and Charles on the other. The reality, however, is one, they are teammates and Carlos Sainz thinks as a team man thinking about the Departure time of tonight.
“The start will be the key, however, scenarios cannot be foreseen, I start from the dirty side and Max from the clean one. But with two cars in front we can compete"
Fear for Red Bull?
The championship was dominated by the Milton Keynes team who didn't even feel the pressure of the other teams, therefore they always remain the point of reference. For the "others" he is always the direct opponent.
"Red Bull will be faster, it's clear enough, but by working in two and starting from the front we could try to put at least one in the front to them"
A difficult match that the Ferrari drivers will have to face on a challenging track like Mexico. Carlos, however, has no doubts, despite the unpredictable start, if they work as a team, the result will be in their hands.
