“Obviously this is not the Friday I want here in Abu Dhabi”Carlos Sainz said this Friday after the accident he suffered this Friday at the start of the second practice session of the Abu Dhabi GP, a heavy crash in which he was unhurt despite the violence of the impact against the barriers.
“We played with the car set-up in FP1 and I’m looking forward to FP2 after making some changes to the car. Unfortunately, I went over the big bump at the entrance to Turn 3, went down the asphalt and hit the barriers.”, explained the man from Madrid, who made some adjustments and changes in height in some unrepresentative first training sessions. Free Practice 2 was key to confirming the path to take for qualifying this Saturday, but the Madrid native crashed into the wall and was unable to return to the track due to extensive damage caused by the car crash.
Carlos has to make up for lost time this Saturday in Free Practice 3 before qualifying. Fortunately for him, the other drivers did not accumulate much learning on the track due to the red flag caused by Sainz and a subsequent one caused by Hülkenberg.
“It was a costly mistake and I feel sorry for the mechanics for giving them extra work. I am sure that this Saturday we will be back on track and we will be ready. It seems that everything will be tight, so we can expect an interesting classification”end of the Madrid pilot.
