Carlos Sainz proud after the comeback

The words of Carlos Sainz after the Dutch Grand Prix

.

Carlos Sainz made a great comeback in the Dutch Grand Prix, finishing fifth after moving up from 10th on the grid. "After qualifying I was a bit pessimistic and a bit disappointed with how the day and the weekend had gone – he admitted in the words reported by FormulaPassion.it – but today, immediately after the grid alignment lap, I felt that the car with a full tank of fuel was going a little better than yesterday, when it was unloaded, and I felt that we could do something better than our forecast which was to finish in seventh or eighth position“.

“I finished only six seven seconds off the podium despite starting from 10th position,” the Spaniard continued, “so I think it was a really good performance. It doesn’t depend forò on the amount of fuel, è something to do with the tires, the tire window and the way we turned them on in qualifying to protect them in the race, becauseé clearly today we were able to keep them alive and push them in the race quite hard, while the others seem to have more difficulty` with the management“.

“I managed to pass a Red Bull on a difficult track like this, which shows that the car had to be set up well and that I was driving very well, so sì, I’m very proud of that" commented the Ferrari driver.
