The first comments of impressions of Carlos Sainz after qualifying in pole position for the 2024 F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.
“Very happy and a great couple of laps. A lot of times around Mexico you always have the feeling like you cannot put a lap together and it’s extremely difficult with how much sliding there is.
“But today, honestly my two laps in Q3 were pretty much identical, almost perfect. I just put two really solid laps in Q3, enough for pole, and very happy because that’s not normally the case around Mexico with how tricky it is.”
On his strong recent form:
“Definitely since Austin we’ve done, it seems especially on my side, a step up. Also in qualifying trying to find something extra with the out-lap and tyre preparation, and it seems like we are going in the right direction.
“Obviously looking forward to finish the job tomorrow, but at least the pole position of today – I’ll take it because it shows progress and some really solid laps.

“For sure, it’s our number one priority, first of all to bring both cars home but especially if you win the race, those extra seven-eight points you get when you win are important for the team in the constructors’. I’ll be just looking forward to keep that P1 into Turn 1, and from there hopefully our race pace should be good enough to win it.”
