“Second is not the worst place to face the race. If I manage to overtake Carlos (Sainz, a Spaniard from Ferrari, who will start from pole) at the start, I’ll have many chances to fight for victory,” said ‘Checo’, born 32 years ago in Guadalajara (Jalisco), as soon as he got off of the car following qualifying, in which he set the third time, but will start second thanks to the penalty of his teammate, the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), for changing engine. The leader of the World Championship, one of the seven pilots sanctioned, will start from fifteenth place on the grid.
