Carlos Sainz qualified an impressive sixth for Toro Rosso in Monaco, immediately behind the two Red Bull cars of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, after the Italian team backed up its strong Thursday performance when it mattered.
Sainz says he will attack from the start, even though the two cars ahead are from STR’s sister team.
“I always attack,” he said. “I don’t know what Helmut Marko will tell me! But I always want to attack from the beginning, because to go into a race defending, is I think the worst thing you can do to your approach and your self-esteem.
