Carlos Sainz took inspiration from Monza laps produced previously in his Formula 1 career \u2013 particularly when he drove for McLaren \u2013 to find the edge that gained the 2023 Italian Grand Prix pole.
The Spaniard explained afterwards that although he had led FP2 and FP3 this weekend, and taken second behind Verstappen in FP1, at no stage before his final qualifying efforts had he taken the risks necessary to find a clear edge through several critical corners at this park-based circuit with his SF-23 on the limit.
He then revealed his thoughts before his final runs had gone back to earlier flying laps at the Monza track, which included his“You have such a light feeling with the car [here] that you never really are willing in practice to take the car to the absolute limit and to as [have to] do in Q3 when it counts,” he added.
“And today it worked again. I just got into that corner, that is an incredibly fast corner and the car feels incredibly light and you just hope it grips and it did, like it’s been all weekend. Carlos Sainz, Ferrari SF-23Sainz, who received a rapturous reception from the massed Ferrari fans when he pipped Verstappen to pole, the fourth of his F1 career, also described how he had “good fun [in] this qualifying session” during the post-session press conference.
