Sainz shines in Canada Carlos Sainz shone in Friday’s Sprint Qualifying in Montreal, taking an unexpected tenth place on the grid. The Williams Spaniard took the Grove car to Q3 for the first time this year and will start alongside Arvid Lindblad’s Racing Bulls in the short race. “It was a good qualifying for us, in particular with an excellent lap in SQ2 – commented the former Ferrari Spaniard to the official F1 channel – this is the best we can do with this car and I am very happy to have obtained the first Q3 – or SQ3 – for the team this season. As for me, I am happy with my laps and my performance. These first races have been good from this point of view.” “Points in the Sprint? We will try – announced the #55 of Williams – unfortunately for us Linblad seems very fast this weekend and their car with the updates seems to have taken a step forward compared to the middle of the group, at least for what our level is. Beating any of those who start in front of me seems impossible, we know that the best eight are always the same and we need ‘help’ from them or from the VCARB to get into the points. I will try to beat them at the start, as we have already done this year and maybe this will give us an opportunity.”
