out in the first lap after a miscalculation in turn 2. "I had to go over the sausage to avoid the penalty and I misjudged the speed on the bollards," he valued the Spaniard, logically frustrated after his third retirement in the last four races.

"It was my mistake, but that curve is not well designed. Something similar happened to me on Friday, during the first free practice. The angle is extremely closed for that position," Sainz analyzed into the Movistar F1 microphones.
