Carlos Sainz ready for qualifying chaos in Monaco

Carlos Sainz believes Saturday’s qualifying session in Monaco will be “madness”. Qualifying is all the more important in Monte Carlo with fewer opportunities to overtake in the race, but Sainz reckons the quicker cars and softer tyres will make it even more “crazy”.
Kimi Raikkonen sat on pole last season posting a track record in the process. The cars have been faster in 2018, and with the hyper soft making its debut this weekend, the record is looking likely to be smashed.
The hyper soft has been used in testing so drivers and teams are aware of how it works.
“It is quite impressive that tyre I must say,” the Renault driver said about the hypersoft.
“It is a tyre that easily gives a second per lap. Normally in Barcelona, you arrive in the last sector with a tyre quite on the limit. This tyre around Monaco could be something special.”

Turning his attention to qualifying, he knows how much a spectacle it will be for fans.
“[Qualifying will be] madness. It will be great. Already last year with these new cars it will be something incredible.”
