After a few great prizes in which it passed from less to more, Carlos managed to advance his most experienced teammate and pilot To complete a spectacular classification, where he was not just “the best of the rest”, but he also broke a Red Bull, a Ferrari and a McLaren.
Although it was circumstantial that Carlos ended in front of Lando Norris, because of the accident suffered by the British pilot McLaren, the fact that the former Ferrari surpassed Lewis Hamilton (seventh) Yuki Tsunoda (the eighth) was due to his own merits, which speaks very well of the performance of a Sainz, their own great.
–I am satisfied with the good round of Q3. It is the second weekend when I get the rhythm from the car. It is the fifth race and seeing that we are already so close to the limit, little by little, it means that we are in the right direction. It is still a step, “explained Sainz in the statements to DAZN F1 after the classification session.
“It will be the second race in which we are in front of a Ferrari and Red Bull. In Bahréin I put both of them and maybe that cost me the struggle for points. I have to consult with the pillow if it is worth fighting with Lewis and Yuki tomorrow. You have to provide good points for the team, “said Sainz, thinking about Sunday’s strategy.
–My consciousness is not to go into many issues, Save the tires and see how we can get the maximum points, “said Carlos, who will face the Jeddah race intelligently to continue adding points.

Fernando Alonso will be thirteenth in Jeddah
A?
More difficult was the classification of Fernando Alonso in the Saudi grandfather. The Asturian pilot marked the thirteenth, because it is more than expected from his rhythm to return to the AMR25 wheel.
Fernando exceeded the first quarter using three tire games, which shows the huge equality between monoplays and the incredible difficulties of the green team to advance each part of the classification. Alonso managed to reach T2 – his partner did not obtain him, Stroll, who fell eliminated with the sixteenth place – but then he could not reach “Top 10”, which always seemed impossible.
Already without new tires, with the soft game used in its last tournament in Q1Fernando managed to place himself in a thirteenth place than expected, considering that he beat other cars that seemed faster, such as Isack Hadjar and Oliver Bearman, who had fresher tires.

“Jeddah is one of my favorite circuits and I think I managed to get the maximum of the car to be thirteenth in classification. We managed to progress in T2, but we use all our new soft tires games to get there, so it was difficult to overcome, “said Alonso after classification.
–We had performance problems this weekend and it could be a challenging race for usBut whatever can happen in an urban circuit like this, “said the Asturian, who believes that the preservation of the thirteenth place will be difficult, given the cars that will come behind.
Alonso keeps his locker room at zero after four races this season and is very complicated that he can inaugurate him in Saudi Arabia, at least in terms of the real rhythm of the car. However, as Alonso commented, in an as complicated urban aspect, anything can happen. From abandoned to red flags that can cause surprising results.
