Carlos Sainz is not expecting to repeat his Las Vegas heroics in Qatar this weekend.
Carlos Sainz believes that the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix could pose one of the most challenging races of the season due to the unique nature of the circuit.
Williams is currently in control of fifth place in the constructors’ standings and can secure this position in Qatar by outscoring Racing Bulls by 16 points.
Despite recent struggles by Alex Albon, Sainz has shown impressive pace and capitalized on opportunities to perform well, moving up to 11th in the drivers’ standings.
Following a strong performance in Las Vegas, Sainz foresees difficulties for Williams at the Lusail International Circuit, particularly in medium and high-speed corners where the team has struggled.
