Sainz: "It’s a pretty weird mistake, it doesn’t reach the limit"

Carlos Sainz I can’t explain what happened. I did not get it. The Spaniard, who is not usually mistaken, accumulated second in a row in two races. In Australia it caused him abandonment. And in this case, in the classification of Emilia Romagna GP, marked his farewell to the battle for what could be the first pole position of his career. The man from Madrid showed great speed, he was second in the middle of Q2 and preparing to improve his time. He wasn’t going to the limit and he had already fulfilled his first goal: knowing that the rain was coming, he was able to set a good first chance to ensure his passage in Q3. But then he bumped into the wall unexpectedly, he lost the car in the last corner of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.

“It’s really embarrassing, because of my speed throughout the session. Even in the water I was comfortable. Quite a strange mistake, actually. I don’t quite understand, because it’s not at the limit of the car or pulling it over, ” He pointed to ‘DAZN F1’, could not find an explanation for what happened and assumed full responsibility.

“I knew the rain was coming and I had to make a good lap before the rain came, becauseBut I also know I have a margin and I don’t need the last tenth. So … alas “, Sainz commented on ‘DAZN F1’.” I have no choice but to apologize, to try to recover and at least there is still the ‘qualy’ sprint and the race to try to recover “, added the number ‘55’, who will have to correct his mistake starting this Saturday, in the sprint race.

“The goal is to get back as much as possible tomorrow (Saturday) in sprint qualifying and make sure we have a chance to move forward.”, finished. Carlos has 21 laps this Saturday to get a better starting position for Sunday’s race.
