Lewis hamilton He conquered the pole position of the Italian GP at the Monza track. Second square for the other black arrow of Valtteri Bottas. Third place change for McLaren Carlos Sainz. These are the words thrown by the top 3 to Paul Di Resta.
Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes, 1st): “It was not bad. Fantastic team performance, perfect timing. It wasn’t the easiest session, you saw how close we were to Valtteri. It was a very clean lap and I think I did it. I am happy with the laps I did but Valtteri was very close. It pushed me to the limit. We made some changes to the car before qualifying. I was nervous but it went well. I have a lot of experience here, in the past we had even less grip. Today in the heat, the grip was good and we were able to take the corners at a really exceptional speed while maintaining stability. In the slow sections you have to evaluate how much speed to put to get it to the straights. In those sections you move a little with the car. The question is to find the right balance “.
Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes, 2): “We were close, I expected it. This weekend I started before Lewis, I don’t know if the road made a difference. Second, it is not a bad place to start. Of course, when you’re up front you can’t make money on the straight. Yesterday we did well, I was also fast compared to Lewis so the race will be interesting. .
Carlos Sainz (McLaren, 3rd): “Honestly, I felt strong from free practice. I did a good lap from the start and then tried to do that 19.6, which would have earned me the top 5. I made a little mistake on Lesmo 1 and almost lost my car. I’m shaking a bit because I really had to fly on the Parabolica. I was a bit lonely in Turns 1 and 2, but then I found myself in the right position on the second lap of Q3, although the lap didn’t start very well. I needed to get the last corners right, I risked a lot and the risk was worth it. As you can see I’m here, I dived into the Ascari and it came out fine. Race? I don’t think we can keep third place, but we will try to hold on. I thought Renault would be faster than us, but they are further behind. We’ll see”.
