Waiting to understand, tomorrow, what future awaits him, Carlos Sainz he was one of the main protagonists of the day. In fact, the Spanish driver has just returned from the third best time in FP1 and by the best performance in the second session in France .
Sainz prepares for the penalty
Times that make us understand the great strength of Ferrari but what for Sainz, in view of tomorrow, they are worth little. In fact, it seems increasingly certain the assembly of the fourth power unit on the Spaniard's F1-75. A choice that will force him to start from the back for the French GP. If this decision, sensationally, not should be confirmed, However, Sainz will start with a ten-place penalty following the change of the control unit communicated during the first free practice session.
The words of Spanish
Sainz can therefore focus mainly on us, even tomorrow with the FP3, in the race pace in view of Sunday's challenge:
It was a positive day. I didn't do many fast laps, but the car was super competitive, it shows that the direction is the right one. I will concentrate –the Spaniard admitted- on the long run, I won't be fighting for pole. There's some work to do but it's all been encouraging. We'll see if there will be other changes to the engine, we can think about what to do after today's penalty. More penalties coming? We'll see. It was a very hot day and this year, every time there are these temperatures these tires also have high degradation."
