Scuderia Ferrari Spanish driver Carlos Sainz speaking after qualifying on pole for the 2023 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay street circuit:
“A bit like Monza really, we hit the ground running in FP1. I felt very confident all through the sessions and put it together in Q3. I just focused on not doing any mistakes on that lap. Keeping it clean in Singapore normally pays off. We had a very good car on certain tracks and conditions. These short apexes and quick changes of direction, our car seems to be very good this weekend. We know our weakness is always the race pace and where we pay the price. But I think our team has been doing a great job over the last couple of weekends to understand the package and car. We have definitely made a bit of progress, keeping in mind this circuit always suits Ferrari well. Mercedes is normally a bit quicker than us come race day. They have a different tyre strategy, which we will have to keep an eye on. But if I focus on my own race and put together a good first stint and stint on hards, we can target the win.”
