Carlos Sainz He wanted to forget the bad luck he had in Las Vegas, where a faulty manhole cover prevented him from competing for pole position and victory on a favorable track. A week later, on a track where Ferrari no longer sought pole and victory, the weekend started badly with an accident in Free Practice 2 that faced Saturday without clear data and a greater lack of certainty This Saturday, he had to change the engine and before qualifying his mechanic was working full speed on a possible setback. But come to ‘quality‘. He didn’t do it in the best context. And in the end, things did not change course. They were made even worse by the poor position the team put the Spaniard on the track in their last attempt at qualifying.
It is clear that time will take the last attempt to improve the track. That the grid is very good and almost anyone can be left in a very complicated Q1. And that the traffic will be very detrimental to the drivers in sector 1 and sector 2. Even if the cars move away, the presence of cars in front can mean being left behind. And that’s what happened to Sainz.
It was not a good sign that Carlos finished 20th in FP3. But his position should not be like that.. I had to aim for more. But he couldn’t do it. In his first attempt in Q1, he was close to expulsion. His rivals improved their times earlier in their last attempt. And on his second and final turn, he didn’t improve, complaining bitterly about the traffic he encountered.
“Too much traffic,” Carlos said over the radio. He complained that Gasly disturbed him, certainly, in the car that finished 15th. And so is Mercedes, the team where Ferrari are playing for runners-up in the Constructors this weekend. alreadyHis radio communication with the team ended with messages hidden by beeps from production.
He dropped out of Q1 for the first time this year (16th) midway through the race to finish 4th in the F1 Drivers’ Championship, which would be his best position ever. But in Bau Dhabi, starting 16th on a track where it was difficult to overtake, it was very difficult for him to achieve 4th place in his fight against Alonso, Norris and Leclerc.
