Carlos Sainz’s chances of taking back-to-back pole positions in F1 came to a crashing halt at Interlagos.
During the Sao Paulo Grand Prix qualifying session, Carlos Sainz caused the second red flag when he lost control of his Ferrari and hit the barrier in the second corner of the circuit. This incident caused damage to the rear of his car. Ferrari is now working against time to repair the car before the start of the grand prix, which is scheduled to begin in just over four hours. Sainz had a strong performance in the previous race in Mexico, where he secured pole position and the race victory, but this crash will likely have dented his confidence. Sainz was not the only driver to crash in qualifying; Williams’ Franco Colapinto also hit the wall during Q1.
