It was supposed to be a redemption weekend, and it still can be, even if the start isn't the best. In qualifying on Friday for the Imola Grand Prix, Ferrari closed in second place with Charles Leclerc and tenth with Carlos Sainz.
However, the Spaniard did not set the time in Q3, following the accident that took place in Q2. A result that certainly does not satisfy the Madrid player who, at the end of qualifying, said: “I don't quite understand what happened. It was a fast lap, but I wasn't pushing to the limit. For this reason it is really difficult to explain this incident. I just lost my car."
These were not the expectations, Sainz is fine with him, but the structure of the weekend, with the Sprint, can help him: “I apologize to the whole team – declared the Spaniard – it is certainly not the ideal way to start the weekend. In any case, we are still on Friday and the Sprint Qualifying and the race on Sunday are still missing where we can try to recover. It's certainly not ideal to start like this."
