Carlos Sainz progresses with third place in Monaco Qualifying
Saturday, 25 May 2024 - Free Practice 3: P7, 1:11.979, 26 laps - Qualifying: P3, 1:10.518, 28 laps
Carlos Sainz will start from third place in the Monaco GP after progressing in the Qualifying session, where he felt more confident after a tricky start to the weekend.
The Spaniard set the fourth fastest time in Q1 (1:11.543) and he also made it through Q2 (1:11.075), where he only used a set of fresh tyres. In Q3, he found five more tenths and improved to 1:10.518.
The 200 meters that separate the starting line from the first corner will be key to fight for a good starting position. Carlos is confident in his pace and, most of all, in a good strategy.
QUOTES: โI feel like I've progressed well today after a difficult start to the weekend yesterday. Of course Iโm not satisfied as I would have preferred to be in the front row. However, we have a good fighting chance for tomorrow and we still have a long race ahead of us. Congrats to Charles for the pole position at home! Letโs raceโ.
COMING UP: Sunday, 26 May 2024 - Race: 16:00 local time (16:00 CEST)
