Carlos Sainz has come out swinging in Austin, putting in a fierce performance to claim P3 for Ferrari in the US Grand Prix qualifying. After a gut-wrenching Sprint race, Sainz made it his mission to climb higher on the grid — and he did just that. But make no mistake, this is only the beginning. Sainz is hungry for victory and has Red Bull and McLaren in his sights for Sunday’s battle.
“We made a big step today,” Sainz announced with quiet intensity. “Yesterday, we were P5, today P3, and I was on an even faster lap before Turn 16 cost me time. We’re closing in on those guys.”
Ferrari’s progress has been undeniable, and Sainz is brimming with confidence that Sunday’s race will be a fight to the finish. But Sainz isn’t just hoping to hang with Norris and Verstappen — he’s out for blood.
“If we get a clean start, there’s no reason why we can’t take the fight to them,” he declared, with the steely confidence of a man who knows he has a shot at glory. “The car feels great, and we’ve dialed in the tires better than ever.”
Sunday promises to be an epic showdown, with Sainz leading the charge for Ferrari’s resurgence. Red Bull and McLaren may think they have the upper hand, but Sainz is ready to spoil their party.
