Perfect start

However, tomorrow a step forward by Red Bull is not excluded, remembering how much it counts to bring home the pole on this track.
Sainz: “Excellent start”
Despite the difficulties, which Sainz himself stressed, the weekend start for the Maranello team it can only be defined excellent. The Spaniard is trying to get back to fighting for the positions that matter and who knows if Monaco might not be the right track.
"It was an encouraging Friday: we completed our program and put in good performances on the track. Monte Carlo is always a challenging circuit, but also a very fun track to push on. Qualifying will be very close, but so far we can say we are satisfied with the work we have carried out since we have managed to improve every time we get on track. Now it's just a matter of working on the details to find the perfect balance for both Saturday and Sunday."
