Default Caulking for new kitchen sink

I'm installing a new kitchen sink on new countertop. The sink has a rim seal
(like rubber) around, but the seal is a little away (0.5 - 1 inch) from the
edge. Do I still need (or better) to add caulking under the rim?

Thanks!

John

I would, but I caulk everything. Post the brand and model of the sink
maybe someone has experience with that sink.

Clear silicone around edge when install is complete. Wipe off excess.
