The moment that ruined Sainz’s possible victory in Monaco

Carlos Sainz I was not happy. Being second in Monaco for the second consecutive year is not bad, but the man from Madrid knows he missed a big chance to get his first victory in Formula 1 and to also succeed in a place as mythical as Monaco. , all for the sin of a crook.

The Spaniard corrected his team’s strategy on the radio and asked not to enter to put up intervals when his teammate Leclerc and the two Red Bulls had already done so. He knew this technique would leave him in fourth place. It’s very clear and I’ve thought about it since before the race. His plan is to pull, extend the life of heavy rain tires and save the intermediate stop by going directly to dry. Everything went well for him, but at the most decisive moment, his return to the court dry, when he had to shoot the most, he met Latifi, who even doubled, did not go away.

The frustration, judging by the video from Sainz’s own helmet and on the Spanish radio, was so nice to see that Alex, despite being shown the blue flag many times (so that Sainz could pass), didn’t move away until he arrived. in the tunnel. After that, Pérez stopped to put on the dry tires and re -entered the track in the first position, just a second ahead of Sainz.

“Now we’ve done everything well. The adventure in the extreme (rain tires) until the dry placement worked well. It gave me a chance to fight for victory. After the stop, when I had to start first and won, I had a problem with one turn, which wasn’t eliminated in two sectors, ”the Spaniard told‘ DAZN F1 ’after the race.

“I’ve done the whole first and second sectors behind a Williams who didn’t lose that took me a few seconds that drove me to success today. It’s a real job. But these are the things that can happen in the sport. this “Carlos added, without personally naming Latifi.

Exactly the other Williamsthe one of Alex Alban, the same was done to Leclerc. In this case, the former Red Bull said he couldn’t miss Charles because he was faster than Monegasque. “It was difficult because we started with smooth tires and we had a big advantage. It will take three corners before he can pass and then he can quickly catch up again“, Albon said of the intolerance Leclerc.
