Carlos Sainz: "It was a bit of a chaotic qualifying, with a lot of traffic"

   MADRID, 1 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) lamented that qualifying was "a bit chaotic" for him, with "a lot of traffic", although the Madrid driver, who will start fourth this Sunday, celebrated being "a tenth and a half away" from pole, but he will have to "come back" to try to get on the podium.

"It was a bit of a chaotic 'quali', with a lot of traffic in Q1 and Q2. In Q3 we were right to start with the softs, but on the last lap I was the first to cross the finish line and the others improved on me. You want to be the last to cross the finish line and I didn't know I had one lap left. I was a tenth and a half from pole," Sainz analyzed in statements to DAZN after qualifying at the Singapore GP, which takes place in Marina Bay.

The man from Madrid, who will start fourth in this Sunday's race, set himself the goal of "come back and try to get on the podium". "And if you can win, even better," commented an optimistic Carlos Sainz, who stressed that Marina Bay is "a circuit where everything or nothing can happen." "With a 'safety car' or a boring career," he warned.
