On Sunday (4 p.m./live ServusTV, Sky) Sainz’s team-mate Charles Leclerc will start from position three in the British Grand Prix.
“I didn’t expect that,” said the son of ex-world rally champion Carlos Sainz, who has had a difficult season so far. “We Spaniards have a little more trouble with the rain than you do,” joked the 27-year-old. Sainz is still waiting for his first win. “I’ll definitely try my best.”
On a slowly drying track, Sainz’s compatriot Fernando Alonso in the Alpine with a best time caught his attention in the last qualifying section. In an unclear situation as to whether it would rain again or not, it was all about timing the last lap correctly. Verstappen made a spin in his attempts, but took the lead. Sainz caught him practically at the last second.
