Sainz confident: 'I believe we are in a good place'

Carlos Sainz experienced two turbulent free practice sessions at the Belgian Grand Prix. The Spaniard tried hard to get the performance of his car up to scratch, but couldn't convince his team on Friday. Sainz remains confident for the rest of the weekend though.

The Ferrari driver enjoyed Friday at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Although it was rainy several times in Belgium, the drivers had enough time to prepare for qualifying and the race that is scheduled in the coming days.

"Overall it was a good Friday," Sainz stated in conversation with Sky Sports. "In FP1 I felt comfortable with the balance of the car. For FP2 we tried some changes which didn’t really work as expected and we lost the feeling a bit."

Sainz believes the problems will be resolved soon. "However, I’m confident we know where to find the lap time for tomorrow and the long run pace was also ok, so I believe we are in a good place for the rest of the weekend."
