THE PLATES VERSION

“I didn't get off to a bad start – Sainz admitted. I tried to pass Hamilton in turn 1, in fact I succeeded, then I felt a contact, it was Oscar and I was unlucky because for me it was a mistake of experience on his part, and if you look at the last seven/eight years here, anyone who tries to go this way inside the Source generates accidents. I don't want to find fault, it's a racing contact and it happened to me, never mind. We decided to stay out because with the red flag we could repair the damage, and the rain could increase the possibility of the race being suspended. It's a shame, it bothers me a lot not to be in the fight because the car seemed stronger than usual."
