Sainz: "This is a difficult day, but you have to be positive"

Carlos Sainz suffered a hydraulic problem with her ferrari and had to leave lap 9, when he was in fourth position at the start of the F1 Azerbaijan GP, ​​trying to reserve starting tires due to the strong heat to try to get places with a strategy that he intended to prolong his first stop. But as the Madrid man said in ‘DAZN F1’, when he was about to start shooting in that first round with a moderate tire, the Spaniard was slowed down by a problem. “The electronic control failed to brake,” he said on the radio. The car made a strange noise and the Madrid native had to park his car on the turn 3 run-off, which led him to retire for the third time in the first 8 dates.

“I think we had a hydraulic problem. And nothing. That’s where the race ended on lap 9 or 10. We started a very slow start to the race, trying to save the tire because it was so hot. They asked me from the team to try to extend the first stop and then I saved the wheel to attack later. But when I was about to start pulling, the hydraulics disappeared. This is a task for the whole team, because of what happened to Charles (Leclerc) as well. But that’s really it. This is F1 and there will always be difficult days and better days ”, said Carlos Sainz, whose problem was added to Leclerc’s reliability failure, who also forced him to leave when he was in the lead.

WHAT BINOTTO TOLD HIM WHEN HE CAME TO THE WALL

“Binotto told me what the problem was. I asked him if we already knew about it and he told me it was a hydraulic problem but he didn’t know why. ”

MESSAGE TO THE FERRARISTS

“These are problems that need to be investigated and we certainly need to act on them, but it is also a day to encourage the whole team and all the Ferrari fans. It is a difficult day for everyone but we also need to try to be positive, think that there will be many more championships and days like this will come to others ”.
