Sainz frustrated with P6 as set-up woes persist into qualifying
Carlos Sainz struggled with car set-up during practice sessions and continued to experiment with different adjustments before reverting to a basic setup for qualifying. His qualifying time was almost one second slower than Max Verstappen’s pole lap, and his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc outperformed him by three-tenths of a second. Sainz believes that his distractions and lack of rhythm due to trying multiple setups affected his performance. Both Ferrari drivers were out-qualified by the McLaren pair, who are expected to be stronger in the race. Sainz hopes that more laps and finding the right rhythm will improve his performance on race day. He also thinks that McLaren might have an advantage in terms of race pace and strategy.
