  • 2020 World Cup, Hamilton, with a 30 point advantage

Fourth place, with its corresponding 12 points, suddenly disappeared for Carlos Sainz at Silverstone. On lap 50, two for the checkered flag, the left front tire of the MCL-35, the same one that made him feel very annoying vibrations, broke into pieces. "Luck is not smiling at us in this first half of the season. Today was a chore," admitted the McLaren leader.

The thirteenth place, just ahead of Antonio Giovinazzi , was a terrible displeasure for Sainz, who came to defend his position against Daniel Ricciardo when everything fell apart. "Suddenly, from one turn to the next, he has said enough and we have stayed there," Sainz said on the Movistar + F1 microphones.

"The wheel lasted about 37 laps. We were at the limit, but it had to be done. It was a lottery. Some have managed to reach the end and others have punctured," said the Spaniard, with his sights set on the 70th anniversary GP .

"Work on slow corners"

The battle will once again be intense against Ferrari, Renault and Racing Point, their toughest opponents in the middle of the grid. The great career of Charles Leclerc and the improvement of Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon contrasted with the problems of Lance Stroll , unable to keep up with the famous Mercedes Rosa.

Sainz's good feelings, especially at the start, should be confirmed next Sunday at Silverstone. "We must work in the slow corners of sector 1, where the car is difficult to drive. But compared to the first three races, I have been more comfortable with the car, and I knew better how to drive it," he concluded, with the logical frustration of not having reached with him a longed for fourth place.
