According to statistics, the Canadian Grand Prix is usually won by drivers who start from the front row, but Carlos Sainz will have to start the race from third position, but the Spanish Ferrari driver is in a fighting spirit.
Carlos Sainz: “I think anything can happen in Formula 1. Starting positions are not that important – it all depends on how you run the race. I think if we have a good start and can put pressure on the guys in front, everything can develop in any scenario.
Max Verstappen has shown a great pace since the start of the weekend and we tried to get faster and faster to get back that last tenth of a second to overtake him. But I still think we can put pressure on him in the race if the start goes well and we have the right tactics.
But first of all it depends on the beginning. If you manage to get right behind Max’s car, you can try to chase him. If we start to lose time in the first five or ten laps, or if Fernando Alonso starts well and stays ahead of me, the gap with the leader could get too big and it won’t be possible to win back for the rest of the race. race.
But our goal is exactly this: a good start, after which it becomes clear how to build a race. Will we have enough pace to fight Max? Judging by Friday’s practice, we should be about the same pace in terms of pace, but of course everything will become clear as the race progresses. In Red Bull they always work really well with rubber, but I still think we can compete with them.
I suppose at the start we both, and I, and Fernando, will try to get ahead of Max, and if we succeed it will of course make our job much easier. I repeat: it all depends on how the first laps go, and if you make it without safety cars, then the tactical factor will work, because the degradation of rubber will start.
As for the start, on this track the acceleration before the first corner is not that long, so there are not many possibilities for maneuvers, and yet on Sunday, as always, I don’t think any scenarios can be ruled out.
