Carlos Sainz says he is “in disbelief” at the 10-place grid penalty he was given for the Las Vegas Grand Prix as a result of exceeding power unit components which was a situation caused by his car hitting a drain cover in FP1. “You can clearly see this weekend we are relatively competitive as I think that the track layout is suiting us a bit more compared to the last few, and we seem to be switching on the tires well over one lap,” Sainz said. “Unfortunately, as the session finished the team communicated to me that I was taking a 10-place grid penalty, for something that I have no fault and the team has no fault. This has obviously completely changed my mindset and my opinion on how the weekend is going to go from now on. “You can obviously imagine how disappointed and in disbelief with the situation I am, and you will not see me very happy this weekend.” “Yes, there will be opportunities (to overtake). But as I said, right now I’m just too disappointed with the outcome and I don’t want to talk too much about the future because what happened today for me is a very clear example of how this sport can be improved in so many ways.” “FIA, teams, rules that could clearly be applied as force majeure for me not to take a penalty, but somehow people always (find) some ways to make the situation worse for an individual and I think in this case it’s my turn to pay the price.” #F1 #LasVegasGP
