Carlos Sainz: "We need to find a rule to avoid more Q3 chaos!"

Carlos Sainz Jr. has admitted Formula 1 and the FIA need to come up with a new rule to avoid such a frantic Q3 session like we witnessed at Monza a week ago.

Sainz was the only driver who came back in time to complete his final flying lap for the conclusive session of the Italian Grand Prix qualifying. Every team were reluctant to move from the pit-lane first because of the tow-advantage a car can get at Monza.

The Spaniard could've taken a surprise pole position if his lap was fast enough, however, Sainz was unable to do that and he wants a rule to avoid such "chaos" again in the future.

"Looking back, I was very surprised by drivers who didn't get a lap in at the beginning of Q3 and preferred not to lead the pack and not put in a qualifying lap in Q3 at all," Sainz said to Formula 1's official website. 

"It was very frustrating that on Saturday night, the stewards were considering imposing a penalty on me, because I think we were all to blame there and at least I was pushing the most.

"There's not a rule for these situations and it's been happening all year. What we need to find is a rule to avoid the chaos. I would be happy to discuss this with the FIA to find a solution.

"People tried to blame me of blocking other drivers on purpose but that is not true. The Ferraris overtook me very early in the lap and then slowed down to let me by again."
