Scary: Sainz stayed in the middle of the track and no one saw him

Carlos Sainz had an accident on the first lap of Japanese F1 GP 2022 It rained heavily this Sunday and the asphalt was very wet. All the drivers decided to start on their intermediates tires, but the conditions got worse and it became very easy for someone to do a hydroplan, which is what ultimately happened to Sainz. The Spaniard saw his car bounce off the wall and back onto the asphalt, staying in the middle of the track. There, the Spaniards had a very difficult moment. Because the car did not meet him due to the poor visibility on the asphalt, because of the rain, he saw a car pass right by him at high speed.

“The truth is that we all decided to start from the intermission, and when the start was given, given the extreme conditions, there was a lot of aquaplaning and virtually no visibility. No. And in one of these I tried to get out of that awakening “Czech” (Perez) I saw something, I fell in a puddle, I aquaplaned, I lost my car,” he pointed out. Carlos Sainz In front of the DAZN F1 microphone, he highlighted from inside the car the difficult moments he later had to live through. “The worst thing happens when you are in the middle of the track and you know no one else is looking at you. I don’t know what they will do.”

“If the pilots can’t see anything, you’re telling fate whatever you do on a day like today, because the 18 pilots behind me know I’m out of line. Because I don’t even look like I’ve ever seen you standing in the middle, I was just so lucky that I had a clue and they didn’t hit me. I hope they make the right decision.”he said when asked if the race should resume in these delicate conditions.
