Sainz explained the Turn 1 confusion: “There was a white product on the asphalt, so I blocked it.”

Carlos Sainz finishes 6th in F1 Las Vegas GP The race got off to a bad start, much to his interest, after he crashed into a manhole cover on the first day and had a thoroughly complicated weekend.had One of the best cars competing for pole position and victory in Las Vegasa route where you can fight face-to-face. Verstappen. However, a 10-position penalty was imposed on this Sunday’s grid due to battery replacement due to damage caused by the sewerage incident, but this was the responsibility of F1 and the FIA, not F1. Sainzhis options went out the window.

Sainz could have started second, but now he will have to start from 12th. He attacked from the beginning and tried to escape from the inside. There was sepiolite, a white powder placed on the track to remove oil lost by Lewis Hamilton’s parade car. Carlos said the dust on the tires took away even more grip from Las Vegas’ already difficult terrain, leaving everyone with very little grip.

“The first lap was a bit of a draw because of the cold wheels. And then the oil patch that was on the inside of Turn 1. There was like a white product and all of us who went inside picked it up and I got to turn 1 and blocked it. It’s something to see. Having to drive through an oil area with a car that has all the oil left in it an hour before the race is something we need to improve on for the future. It was already difficult to start with cold tires and a very complicated Turn 1, but from there he put his head down and made a good comeback to limit the damage and work his way up from second to last to sixth. So it hasn’t gotten any worse,” Sainz said on DAZN F1.

After a difficult start, a ‘safety car’ due to contact between Russell and Verstappen gave him wings in the points battle. In the final race, the two Ferraris were faster on medium tires, but the pace lost on hard tires was more noticeable, and they made a comeback in 6th place.

“With hard tires, it’s always difficult for us. Today we had graining on the front and back… If there was no graining before, there was also graining on the back. “For us The tires were too hard and it was a very tough race.”he added.

Sainz’s review of the 1st Las Vegas GP

“That straight is going to be a little long. We got to the end of the straight pretty quickly, but when the wheels are cold, there’s a moment where you don’t know if the car will stop, it won’t… and then when you warm up the tires, The car stops, okay. For me, there was the 11-12 corner where Lando (Norris) crashed, which was very dangerous and will probably have to be readjusted a little bit for the future. The rest. , a circuit for racing rather than classification.”
