Carlos Sainz look to keep his attention on consistency this weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix after points finishes in Azerbaijan and Spain.

Sainz had struggled the first few races in his McLaren as he retired in Australia and suffered with damage in Bahrain.

But the Spaniard hopes to continue the form of the past couple of races where he has finished in the top 10 going into this weekend.

He has a good track record in Monaco having finished in the points every race since his debut with Toro Rosso in 2015, finishing his highest at sixth in 2017 for the Red Bull sister team.

"My focus this weekend is on consistency and finding the limit with patience and confidence in the car,” Sainz said on McLaren’s website.

“I’ve always been in Q3 and scored points here in the past, so the target is to keep that record going for this year and improve as much as possible.” 

“Monaco is such a special race on the F1 calendar. The history, the track and the atmosphere the whole week makes it something absolutely unique.

“Obviously, it can be very tricky to overtake here, so setting the car up on Thursday and Saturday morning is more crucial here than anywhere else for a strong result in quali and hopefully the race.”
