- Sprint Qualifying: P5, 1:33.089, 12 laps

• Carlos Sainz will start from the third row of the grid in the Sprint of the United States GP, which will be 19 laps long.
• The Ferrari race driver dominated morning practice and was the fastest driver on track on Medium tyres in the Sprint Qualifying.
• As the grid moved to the Soft tyre for Q3, the grid became really tight. Carlos was three-hundredths of a second away from starting third for the Sprint.
• Once the Sprint is over, the parc fermé will be open and the Ferrari mechanics will have just over four hours to work on the set-up of his SF-24.

QUOTES:
"It was a very tight Sprint Qualifying and overall the session wasn’t too bad. We did good laps in Q1 and Q2 with the Medium tyre, but we missed a bit with Soft. On the last flying lap it was all about the slightest of details but we still have tomorrow to go at it again. On the race pace I think we could be competitive so I expect an interesting Sprint Race tomorrow where we will fight to gain some positions".
