Carlos Sainz has not accepted his fourth place in the Belgian sprint race for good, let alone starting third on the grid after showing good pace and speed since Friday. The Ferrari driver, who has benefited from the final penalty for Hamilton, has been able to compensate in some way forms the disastrous pit stop that has prevented him from fighting for the podium in his first assault at Spa-Francorchamps, although he promises that tomorrow, in the main race, he will go all out.
“It’s a shame because today was a race to have finished in the top three, for sure. We knew that everything was going to be decided at that stop and we lost a lot of time, three or four positions that have compromised my chances of being among the three on the podium, but these are things that happenSainz commented. I stopped behind Piastri when the safety car went off, he started first and I seventh. It could be due to a bad stop and the bad position of the garage, I don’t know, we’ll analyze it with the team.”
The Madrid driver, however, has ensured that the plan is the same as last week at the Hungarian GP: “Tomorrow we will go on the attack”, Has promised. “We started fourth on the grid, we have a good pace this weekend, but we will have to be careful because we know that on Sundays we tend to go a little behind and we must take that into account here. It can be a tough and long race, but At the moment this end of the car is going well in all conditions, I am going well, so we will have to try. It should not be an easy day but I am a little more optimistic”, he concluded.
