MADRID, 10 Apr. (SportsFinding) –
The Spanish driver Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) has assured that everything has gone “wrong” this Sunday in the Australian Grand Prix race, in which he has been forced to abandon in the first laps after going off the track, and hopes that they can be “more perfect” in the upcoming Formula 1 World Championship tests.
“Honestly, everything has gone wrong all weekend. It’s hard to accept, because a lot of things have gone against us. And in the end, maybe trying to come back too much, in a bit of a hurry to try to get back forward with a wheel that It still wouldn’t let me push… Perhaps it was my mistake. The point is that we have to be more perfect, and this weekend it was the opposite,” he told DAZN.
In this sense, the Madrilenian appealed to correct these errors for future appointments. “We will try to recover, we will try to learn from what we have done wrong and come back better. It is clear that the car is going fast and this weekend I have felt more comfortable. We will have to take advantage of it. There are still 20 races ahead, there is a world left, but You have to try to be more perfect,” he said.
On the other hand, Sainz recounted the problems with the steering wheel that caused him to abandon the test on lap 2 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne. “Everything has been complicated since the start. We had another problem with the steering wheel, I had to change it before starting and it wasn’t set up correctly; I had an ‘anti stall’ problem at the start because it wasn’t set correctly a button, I didn’t read the clutch correctly, the torque at the start, and we had anti stall problems in the pre-start and at the start that cost us several positions at the start”, he stressed.
“From then on I tried to take risks with a hard wheel that was cold, and clearly I made a mistake that cost us the spin and the retirement. Weekend to forget. Problems yesterday and today with things that we have to try that we didn’t happen again, and for my part it has also been a negative weekend because of the mistake I made today”, he concluded.
