The Spaniard Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), who will start fourth this Sunday at the Singapore Grand Prix, the seventeenth of the event, declared at the Marina Bay circuit, where he was just 17 hundredths of the ‘pole’, that it was “to for that, but”, which was still “one lap too soon”.
“The decision was clear at all times, in Q3 (third round of qualifying) it wasn’t easy to go with the ‘slicks’, but you had to take risks, go little by little; and don’t make mistakes. The goal was to get to the last lap and go for it. We went for it, but maybe one lap too soon”, commented in the mixed zone of the Marina Bay circuit the talented 28-year-old driver from Madrid, who is fifth in the World Championship, 148 points behind the leader, the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull).
