Carlos Sainz starts the Canadian GP on the right foot

Friday, 13 June 2025
- Free Practice 1: P3, 1:13.275, 31 laps
- Free Practice 2: P7, 1:12.631, 37 laps

  • Promising start to the weekend for Carlos Sainz, who was among the fastest drivers of the midfield already from the very first practice session.
  • The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve suits the strengths of the FW47, and Carlos seized them; both in Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2, he set his fastest time in the Soft compound, but he also used the Medium, covering 24 laps on it in the second session.
  • The Spanish race driver will work with his engineers tonight to try and make the next step in terms of confidence to tackle tomorrow’s Qualifying with the maximum chances of making it to Q3.

QUOTES:
“Good feeling today. Being realistic, FP1 was a bit misleading in terms of our position on the time sheets but in FP2 we were still fighting in the top 10, so we’re more or less where we expected to be. There is still more work to do ahead of tomorrow but we seem to be in a good form. We’ll focus on tyre strategy and continue building up the confidence around this circuit".
