Not an easy day at home Ferrari. In qualifications of the Mexican Grand Prix Max Verstappen still punishes and takes home another pole position. The Dutchman finished in front of the two Mercedes of Russell and Hamilton. To see a Ferrari you have to go down to fifth place.
Ferrari disappointing
The first Red is that of Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard finishes in fifth place in the standings, ahead of his teammate Leclerc, after an absolutely not easy session. Various problems manifested on the F1-75 which surprisingly disappoints expectations enough.
Sainz: "I'm not satisfied"
The race, and the attention, therefore moves to tomorrow. Sainz knows it and, at the end of qualifying, he declared.
“I can't say I'm satisfied with my lap, it wasn't clean, the car was really difficult to drive today. The curbs especially created a lot of problems for me, and the set-up change didn't help me. In general, this weekend is not going so well. We are not surprised by our performance, but we don't understand why we lost so much performance this weekend with the car out of petrol. Putting together the T3 of the last lap with the T1 of the first, I could do 1:18.0. With the car so difficult to drive it is not easy. The more loaded wing didn't improve the passing on the curbs, even if we had hoped for it. We also know why we are not going strong this weekend, we had to compromise the car quite a lot here and we knew we weren't going to be as quick as usual."
