Sainz: “The red flags complicated my work in the long runs”

She wasn't able to work as deeply as she would have liked on a circuit as difficult for her as the Belgian one, however for the Toro Rosso the two sessions on Friday proved to be quite positive.

“It was the first time I had such high speeds on my favorite circuit. It was really fun – he said Carlos Sainz jr., 8th and 12th – Overall everything went smoothly and I completed most of the program although due to the red flags I wasn't able to gather much information in the long runs."

“In general I am satisfied although the balance still needs to be reviewed – he said Max Verstappen, 7th and 13th – Over the course of the sessions I gained more and more confidence, but unfortunately I often found myself in traffic in the afternoon. I remain confident for the rest."
