Carlos Sainz loses in first fight at weight class in Abu Dhabi
Carlos Sainz He wanted to forget his misfortune at Las Vegas, where a poorly secured manhole cover prevented him from competing for pole position and victory on a favorable course. A week later, at a track where Ferrari was no longer hoping for pole and victory, an accident in free practice 2 gave the weekend a bad start, leaving them heading into Saturday without clear data and further uncertainty. Became. This Saturday he had to have his engine replaced and before qualifying the mechanics were working at full speed to prepare for possible setbacks. But this is what happened.qualified‘. He didn’t do it under the best possible circumstances. In the end, things never changed direction. The team’s bad position on the track with the Spaniard in the final qualifying set them on the wrong track even further.
It was clear that the last attempt to improve the track would take time. The grid is very even and almost anyone can drop out in Q1 which is very complex. And that traffic will be costly to drivers in Sector 1 and Sector 2. Even if the car moves away, you may be left behind if there is another car in front of you. And that’s what happened to Sainz.
It wasn’t a good sign that Carlos finished 20th in FP3. But that shouldn’t be his position.. I had to aim higher. But he couldn’t do it. It was his first attempt in Q1 and he almost got sent off. His rivals improved their times early on their final attempts. And in the second to last turn he could not improve and complained a lot about the traffic he encountered.
“There’s too much traffic,” Carlos said over the radio. He complained that Gasly caused him trouble because of his car, which finished 15th. And then there’s Mercedes, the team Ferrari will be fighting for this weekend’s constructors’ runner-up spot.alreadyHis radio communication with his team ended with a message hidden by a beep from the production.
He suffered his first Q1 loss of the year (16th place) while fighting for fourth place, the highest ever ranking in the F1 Drivers’ Championship. However, starting 16th on a difficult course to overcome at Baudhabi, it will be very difficult to claim fourth place in the battle with Alonso, Norris and Leclerc.

Starting this year, Red Bull will use its own engine developed jointly with the American company Ford.
4-time F1 champion Max Verstappen and his new partner Isak Hajjar attended the presentation.
