Sainz disappointed but optimistic

Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz Jr. was disappointed with 12th place in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, but he is still optimistic that both him and teammate Max Verstappen will score points in the all important race on Sunday.

"I had been quite comfortable with the car the whole weekend, we were looking strong. However, in today's qualifying session the conditions changed, as well as the feeling with the car, especially with the brakes, compared to yesterday. All this made me lose my references and I just couldn't get into a rhythm, so unfortunately I struggled to put a qualifying lap together."

"We really didn't expect to find ourselves in this position as we knew we had the potential to make it into the top ten. We need to analyse this and focus on tomorrow's race. It's not the easiest of tracks to overtake, but we said the same about Monaco and I was able to finish in the points after having started from the pit-lane, so anything is possible tomorrow and we will fight as hard as possible for more points."
