F1, Ferrari: Carlos Sainz sees the glass half full

Carlos Sainz remains confident

It è was not an easy weekend Saturday for Carlos Sainz, who finished fourth in the Sprint Race in Qatar disappointing però in the subsequent qualifying, where he did not è go beyond the seventh time. A position that forces the Spaniard to do double duty, given the difficulty of overtaking on the Lusail circuit in Qatar.

Yet the Spaniard does not want to lose heart and, to the microphones of 'Sky Sport', he says he is confident: "The main problem è that we have found the limit and we can not go further – he said -. Perhaps I could have been slightly ahead on the grid, but in the last attempt I è missed a slipstream and lost a few tenths of a second".

"In any case, qualifying gave answers that we already knew about this track,” added Sainz Jr. I am optimistic about the race pace, but we have to see tomorrow. The goal è to try to take as many points as possible on a track that is not è friendly to us, but we knew that from the beginning of the weekend".

For Carlos Sainz that of Sunday è the penultimate Grand Prix in Ferrari, since his adventure, which began in 2021 as a replacement for Sebastian Vettel, will goà to end after the Abu Dhabi GP. Next year, the son of art will race in Williams, with the goal of restoring luster to a stable with a glorious past but an almost anonymous present.
