Carlos Sainz: Looks like we're fast in Monza!
On Friday in Monza the Williams cars were quick – Carlos Sainz posted the third-fastest time, and his teammate Alex Albon the seventh...
Carlos Sainz (3rd): "Good day. It seems we are quick in Monza! There are a few things I'd like to fine-tune to feel more comfortable in some corners, but overall the pace is good — both long and short runs. Today we'll work on the setup a bit more and, hopefully, we can maintain this good form for the rest of the weekend."
Alex Albon: "It was a tough day, but in the end we managed to complete a very busy program. The car is quick; on the long run we showed a decent race pace. Now it's important to keep it for the rest of the weekend. We have weaknesses. The first lap and getting the tires into the working window remain our problem — and we're working on that. This weekend we have a good chance to score a lot of points. In Monza we've usually been leaders of the midfield pack; I hope we can do that again."
