F1 | Toro Rosso, Sainz: “It was a complicated race”

Carlos Sainz with her Toro Rosso he conquered theeighth position of the first GP of season 2017 of formula 1 in Australia, on the circuitAlbert Park: “It was a complicated race! Obviously, with this new generation of cars, we didn't really know what to expect, but eighth place is a satisfying result for us and I'm happy about that.", Sainz said as reported by GpUpdate.

"Was a sin for us to have lost the position on Perez immediately after the pit stop. I struggled after letting it pass Daniil and two o'clock Mercedes, as my tire temperatures dropped a bit and it took me some time to find my rhythm again. In the final stages of the race I was fast and was catching up with the Force India, almost to the point of attempting an overtaking: if only there had been a few more laps, I could have tried. The race weekend gave the whole team confidence: getting both cars into Q3 and crossing the finish line with a double points finish is a really good start and now we need to make sure we continue like this."he concluded.
