Difficulties with the Soft tyre compromise Carlos Sainz in Italian Qualifying

Saturday, 6 September 2025:
- Free Practice 3: P13, 1:19.907, 23 laps
- Qualifying: P13, 1:19.528, 19 laps

  • Carlos Sainz will try to come back to the points in the Italian GP from the thirteenth spot of the Starting Grid, after a Qualifying in which the preparation of the Soft tyre was a key factor.
  • The Williams driver was among the fastest drivers yesterday, when he was able to put together more laps to adjust the temperature of his tyres. In Qualifying, though, he had to do that in a single lap.
  • The Spanish race driver made the cut in Q 1 (1:19.644) with the fifth fastest time, but in Q 2 (1:19.528) he was not able to optimize his tyres in his fastest lap.

QUOTES:
“We expected today to be a lot more challenging. We’ve been struggling all season with our single lap pace on the Soft compound, being very tricky to get them into the optimum window and feeling like every push lap is different from each other".

"However, I have faith on our race pace and I will give absolutely everything out there to get into the points. Let’s race!".
