• Carlos Sainz will have a free tyre choice going into Sunday’s Austrian GP, given that today he qualified eleventh.
• The Ferrari driver made it through Q1 (1:04.596) using two sets of the Soft compound, while in Q2 he hold on to the Medium (1:04.559) to avoid the degradation of the C5 in the race.
• The Spaniard didn’t make the cut by just six thousandths of a second, despite his tyre choice. His main goal is to turn this potential into a solid race.

QUOTES:

"Today we decide to take a bit more risk by trying to make into Q3 only with the Medium tyre. After a decent first attempt with that tyre, we went for it and unfortunately missed the cut by only 6 thousandths of a second. I’m obviously not happy with that because it was extremely close and we couldn’t show the good progress we’ve made this week. We worked hard on the balance, the set up and my driving style these past few days and we could have done a good Q3. Anyways, the race is tomorrow and our goal is to do another strong race here in Austria and score as many points as possible. We are ready for it. Vamos!".
