Carlos Sainz, frustrated and disgusted: “He ruined the whole effort”

Carlos Sainz didn’t have a good day this Sunday in Melbourne. Due to a five-second penalty, the man from Madrid finished twelfth in the crazy Australian Grand Prix, something that made him say “the disappointment he” feels “at this time is hard to digest”.

Sainz, 28, could finish fourth, but in the second restart of a test that was delayed until three times with a red flag, he touched Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), causing him to leave the track, where received a punishment that for many was too much.

“I had a good start and I felt very good on the intermediate tyres; but we were very unluckywhen I entered the box even before the first red flag was set, where I dropped to eleventh place (when I was running fourth)”, explained the Spaniard from Ferrari, who is now fifth in the World Championship, with 20 points, 49 less than the leader, Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who won this Sunday.

“From there I made a good comeback, with good overtaking, so in that sense, I’m happy“, pointed out the talented driver from Madrid this Sunday in Melbourne.

“Overall it’s going to be a great race, but punishment destroys the whole effort; and I strongly disagree with himSaid Sainz after the Australian Grand Prix.

“The disappointment I feel today will be hard to swallow, but I will try to think only about the positive aspects of today and focus on the next race.Sainz said after the suspension had spoiled a good performance at Albert Park.
