Carlos Sainz Jr. (Scuderia Ferrari) has retired from the 2022 F1 Round 11 Austrian Grand Prix final.
Carlos Sainz Jr., who won his first F1 victory at Silverstone in the previous race, seemed to be out of pace with his teammate Charles Leclerc, who won the Red Bull Ring on Sunday, but still Max Verstappen (Red Bull). It seemed that the podium for 2nd place was certain, overtaking (Racing).
However, a fire broke out from the engine cover of F1-75 on the 56th lap of the 71st lap race. I parked the car at the exit on turn 4. The trouble is that it’s sloping, and the car recedes backwards, struggling to jump out of the car as the flames approach.
“It was a very tricky situation. I wanted to jump off, but the car was rolling behind. I didn’t want to retreat forever and I knew the car was on fire. Waiting for Marshall to come. They didn’t come and it took a while, but nothing happened, “explained Carlos Sainz Jr.
Carlos Sainz Jr., who avoided the crisis, was disappointed that he could have achieved “easy one-two”.
“We were heading for 1-2 as a team with a very easy second place. It’s a very big result for the team,” said Carlos Sainz Jr.
“We were very fast, especially with hard tyres, and we were trying to catch up with Charles. The good sign is that I had a pace and a lot of great momentum.”
“But it looks like you’re watching the story of my season. With a little momentum, something goes wrong and it’s hard to keep going. This weekend we were very fast and the team It should have been an easy 1-2 for me. “
