Sainz says he is 'fed up' with narrowly missing out on F1 pole positions after finishing a close third again in JapaneseGP qualifying.
Sainz appeared to have the measure of a scruffy Leclerc throughout the dry running on Saturday but at the death in qualifying, he slipped behind and was 0.057s adrift of Red Bull driver Verstappen's benchmark time.
Explaining the run, Sainz said:"It was a good lap. Clean all the way until the last chicane. There, probably I overcooked a bit the tyres going in and it cost me quite a bit of lap time.He added:"It was a very clean lap, a very good lap all the way until the last corner. I picked up quite a bit of wheelspin, just a bit too much for my rear tyres in that last lap."
Despite the gap growing to a little over two tenths for the most recent Italian and Singapore GPs, Sainz said he was"fed up" with his near misses but was determined to earn another pole over the four remaining rounds.
