Carlos Sainz was the second best in the Las Vegas Grand Prix classification; However, the Spaniard was sanctioned by the FIA with 10 positions following some modifications that were made to his car following the incident he had with a sewer during the first day of free practice.
After what happened, the Ferrari driver exploded once morest Formula 1, believing that the damage to his car was not his fault but the circuit in Las Vegas.
“The frustration and anger I feel will not go away easily, what has happened speaks for itself. There was a safety problem on the circuit that destroyed my car. “My mechanics had to spend five hours building a new car, and then we received a ten-place penalty for something that has nothing to do with us,” he told the media.
Likewise, Carlos Sainz, who will end up starting from 12th position behind Checo Pérez, criticized the authorities who make the decisions and made it clear that he expected more from Formula 1 in this type of situation.
“I am disappointed but not surprised. Already this year it has been shown that this sport can change in various situations. It does surprise me that whoever makes the rules does not have the power, in a case of force majeure, to regulate above when something is so clear that it does not depend on either the team or the driver. But the rules, the teams… I expected more from sport in this situation […]. I have been in sports for a long time and I understand that this is a business, that there is a lot of money when it comes to ending up in one position or another,” she stated.
