MADRID, 2 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish driver Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) was happy after winning the first pole of his career this Saturday “at Silverstone and in the rain” at the British Grand Prix, all after a qualifying session in “complicated conditions”.
“Today it’s time to smile, I have had a good joy with that pole in some complicated conditions that I have always liked and in which I have always done well in my career. What better place than Silverstone with rain to get my first pole”, he said speaking to DAZN after the qualifying session.
In this sense, the Madrilenian explained that he has experienced “a very difficult session”. “The track was super complicated and you always think that you are the one who suffers the most, but it was seen that the others suffered the same or more than me with those wheels and that amount of water that was on the track. It was very difficult to keep the car on the track without spinning “, he pointed.
“The lap was clean, without many mistakes that are always made here. I lacked a lot of battery on the back straight, I lost two or three tenths on the straight and I thought it wasn’t going to be enough, but the lap had to be pretty good,” she continued.
Regarding the conditions on Sunday, he believes that they will return “dry, although there have always been some showers.” “If I go like in Free Practice 2, we have good options; if I go like in Free Practice 3, I will have to suffer. We have changed a lot of things to try to recover the ‘feeling’ of Free Practice 2, so hopefully it can go like this,” he concluded.
