• Carlos Sainz was the fastest driver among the midfield teams in the Qualifying session of the Saudi Arabian GP, where he clinched the sixth spot of the grid. This is his best starting position so far in the season.
• The Williams race driver was already among the ten fastest drivers in Q1 (1:28.354) and Q2 (1:28.024), and in Q3 he sealed his performance to place himself just in front of Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda for the second race in a row.
• The Spanish race driver feels he has extracted the maximum performance of his FW47, and he is now focused on the race. Tyre management is set to play an important role in the final result.

QUOTES:
“I enjoyed pushing the limits of the car today, especially on such a demanding track where confidence makes a big difference. I'm proud of the progress we're making and felt more at home in the car from the start of FP1. The target for tomorrow is to bring home as many points as possible. This will require patience, discipline, and I will need to pick my battles to maximise the race result. Let’s go for it!”.
