The disappointment of Carlos Sainz after leaving in Spa

Carlos Sainz could not have a good celebration for his 25th birthday. The engine of his McLaren stopped at the first exchange in Spa and had to retire for the second time this season. The same fate ran his partner, Lando Norris , who was fifth in the last lap and saw how his car stopped preventing him from finishing the race.

"Reliability has cost us the 10 points of Lando and my points, which would have been achieved with the rhythm we had. Now we have to wait for news from Renault," said the Madrid visibly disappointed in statements to Movistar Plus.

Sainz regretted not knowing anything else and showed his frustration. "I have no more information, I have lost power, my engine battery has run out and I have not been able to use it, " he explained.

"I have already lost power in the middle of the training lap, in the last sector. I have tried to start the race, but not even that," he said. Hence, I would insist later that the problem is reliability. "It is what has been missing because we have seen what pace in the race we were going to have. That is why I was more confident than usual before the race, on Sunday the car is going better and Lando has been able to prove it," he argued.
