Why Carlos Sainz thinks he and Williams need to do a better job on race days.
Williams driver Carlos Sainz feels he missed out on scoring big points in the Formula 1 race at Imola due to poor race execution for the second consecutive weekend, despite qualifying well. The strategic pit stop call by Williams left him stuck behind cars yet to pit, costing him valuable time. The deployment of the virtual safety car further hampered his chances of gaining positions. Although he finished in eighth place, a top-five result seemed within reach based on the team’s performance. Sainz expressed disappointment at not maximizing the team’s potential and aims to improve race execution in the future. Despite helping Williams secure fifth place in the constructors’ standings, he is not satisfied with finishing in the lower end of the top 10, as the team has shown the capability to challenge top teams on merit.
