F1 | Belgian GP: Sainz-Piastri contact, the version of the McLaren driver

The race lasted less than a lap Oscar piastri in Belgium. The pilot of the McLaren in fact he had a fatal contact for his MCL60 with the Ferrari di Carlos Sainz at the Source, curve 1 of Spa Francorchamps, and suffered suspension failure, which forced him to park his car along the track. An certainly unpleasant situation, also because the Spaniard also had to raise the white flag, depriving the Grand Prix of two sure protagonists. However, the Australian, while not hiding his disappointment, doesn't want to make a drama out of it.

SAINZ'S VERSION

“I think it's a turn 1 accident, on the first lap – said Piastri. It's a shame we paid the price, but I don't think I could have done anything differently honestly: once Carlos went to the right and got blocked he didn't leave me too many options to take the corner. Finishing the race like this is certainly not nice, but it still seemed like a difficult day for McLaren, so we're not losing too much, but it's always bad to finish a race so early."
