Carlos Sainz: A very positive day!
Both Williams drivers made it to the sprint qualifying final in Qatar, Carlos Sainz once again ahead of Alex Albon…
Carlos Sainz (8th): “It was a very positive day for us. We expected to have problems on this track, so we chose experimental settings we hadn’t tried yet this year — and it worked.
It’s nice to see both cars in the qualifying final. As usual, our car proved more competitive on the harder tyres.
The difference between 4th and 8th is less than one tenth, so we’ll see what happens tomorrow in the sprint and in qualifying!”
Alex Albon (10th): “The weekend has started better than we expected. We don’t have the fastest car, but we took a decent position considering there was only one practice session this weekend.
We have a decent car for the sprint and qualifying; tomorrow I’ll try to maximise its potential.”
