Behind of max verstappen Carlos Sainz appeared as the fastest on Friday in the British Grand Prix. Ferrari continues to take steps forward, although this weekend the Spaniard believes that they will not reach the pace of Red Bull… nor of Mercedes.
“I think that despite being second it is a difficult weekend because at the pace of the race we are missing a bit with respect to Red Bull and MercedesWe have to try to improve it until Sunday because we have also suffered with the wheels”, he said after Free Practice 2.
This is how he analyzed on Friday: “We have improved from the first free practice to the second, with some really complicated wind conditionsvery changeable, but we need to continue working on our pace and improving degradation, which we know is our main weakness…”.
The rain could mark it all on Saturday: “If a changeable climate comes for the classification, well welcome, we already lived the mix these past weeks and we will take it as it comes, whatever it is I will enjoy it, and it seems that it will be the typical English changing Saturday and therefore fun.”
What about Aston Martin?
Sainz has not listed Aston Martin among the fastest cars. And it is that the green team has been far from the best. Lance Stroll He set the sixth fastest time, almost eight tenths behind Verstappen.
Fernando Alonso, for his part, could only be tenth, more than a second behind the Dutchman. Of course, these Friday times do not say anything. It will be in the classification where it will be seen where each team is.
