\n– Sprint: P6, 15 laps
\n– Qualifying: P15, 1:41.758, 13 laps<\/p>\n
\n\tCarlos Sainz scored three points in the Sprint in Belgium, where he started from sixth place and finished in the same position in a race marked by DRS trains.
\n\tThe Williams race driver was able to work on the set-up of his FW47 before the Qualifying session, but he didn\u2019t feel comfortable with his car in Q2 and he felt he needed more grip in order to attack confidently.
\n\tThe Spanish race driver made it through Q1 (1:41.691) with the seventh fastest time of the session, but in Q2 (1:41.758) he had to settle for fifteenth due to the lack of grip of his car.

QUOTES:
\n\u201cDisappointed with this result. I had a strong lap in Q1 but didn\u2019t manage to go any faster in Q2, as I didn\u2019t manage to find grip. We\u2019ve tried different directions with car balance and experimented a bit with set-up throughout the weekend, but obviously today didn\u2019t go our way and we need to analyze it. Hopefully tomorrow there will be opportunities as it could be wet, so let\u2019s keep focused as the weekend is not over yet”.<\/p>\n
