  • Carlos Sainz is set to start from the second row of the grid in his last race as a member of Scuderia Ferrari, where the goal is to clinch a victory that could very well mean a Constructors’ Championship title.
  • Carlos SF-24 did a step forward after the different set-up changes made after the Friday sessions and the Spaniard was already among the fastest in Q1 (1:23.487) and Q2 (1.22.985), where he set the third and the fastest time respectively.
  • The Spaniard found another tenth in Q3 (1:22.824) and in the end he was only 20 thousandths away from second place, although Carlos remains confident in his race pace to fight for everything tomorrow.

QUOTES:
“We did a good job on the car after yesterday and today in Q1 and Q2 I was able to put together some solid laps. In Q3 I pushed like crazy on the last attempt and I think my lap was good, only hundredths of a second away from P2. Anyways, starting P2 or P3 doesn’t make a huge difference here as the race is very long and I have confidence in our pace. Races have to be raced until the very last meter, so believe me when I say I will drive my heart out to try to win and let’s see what happens. Nothing would make me happier than finishing with Ferrari on a high, so let’s go at it one more time!".
