Sainz will join teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc on the front r🐻ow of the grid for Sunday’s Mexico City Grand Prix after surprising everyone in Q3.

In the lead up to the final segment of qualifying, it lookeಞd like Ferrari was a step behind Red Bull and Mercedes in the fight for pole.

Leclerc and Sainz claimed first and second after the initial runs in Q3 - where they stayed - as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen was unable to topple them.

When asked about Ferrari’s upturn in form in the latter part of quali💫fying, Sainz couldn’t explain it.

“Honestly, it was a very strange one,”𒊎 Sainz said.

“I've struggled all weekend to put a lap together and the first one I put a lap together [for] it was P1 at the time and then Char🐽les beat me by half a tenth, one tenth.

“I just♍ struggle to understand where suddenly we can find half a second and then go half a second slower in the next lap.

“It's very tricky with the tyres, the feeling with the car is very strange around thi🀅s circuit. But we managed to put a good lap when it counted and it puts us in a good position for tomorrow.”

Ferrari have typically struggled on race day, particularly with tyre wear in F1 2023.

Looking ahead to the race, Sainz said: “Clearly we are not as strong✤ in high fuel asꦛ we are in low fuel. 

“I think our car benefits a lot from that n൲ew tyre, soft tyre feel at the rear 🃏and we are going to see how we are going to do tomorrow to keep those tyres alive to keep that Red Bull behind.

"Having two cars in front is a good advantage, so w💜e are going to try our best.”
