Carlos Sainz

And yeah, you just need, sometimes you need five tries, sometimes you need 12, and sometimes you need 13, and you never know

when that good moment is going to come and it came after.

It was always going to be something like that.

At the same time, I was P2 in that quali on merit.

I think I was very fast in Q1, very fast in Q2, and I was almost pole until Q3 when Max took away with a great lap.

And I said, I'm here because I have the speed, and the speed is what I've had all the year.

It's just things are finally coming together, but imagine me

in the first row of the grid in Azerbaijan, thinking after the year I've had, now I'm starting in the front row with Williams, but what's the bad luck going to be today?

Were you thinking that?

Believe it too much.

Obviously, I went into that race trying to win it.

Like I try to do it with every race.

I say, if I can get Max at the start and miraculously pull away, I will try.

But because that's my, when I put the helmet on, I'm like, turn one, let's see how I can get to P1 and see if then I get my elbows out or something.

No, we were just, same thing really, just trying to understand what was going on.

I think we were just openly talking of what is happening, like, what do you think, James, I'm doing well?

What do you think I'm not doing well?

Why do you think I'm quick but things are not clicking?

Like, wanting to have his opinion and him wanting to hear from me of what did I think of what's happening.

It was honestly a fun dinner, like, full open conversation.
