Carlos Sainz to start from pitlane for Brazil race as Williams reveal grand plan
Williams F1 driver Carlos Sainz was demoted to starting from the pit lane for the sprint race at the Brazilian Grand Prix due to a poor sprint qualifying performance.
The team decided to experiment with different setup options on Sainz’s car during the sprint race to potentially benefit them for the main race.
Williams altered the suspension on Sainz’s car under parc ferme conditions, making a point-scoring performance in the sprint race unlikely.
Both Sainz and his teammate, Alex Albon, are expected to use the sprint race to gather valuable data for the main race.
Other drivers, such as Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda, are also using the sprint race to make setup changes, indicating a strategic approach to the weekend’s racing.
The Brazilian Grand Prix weekend includes a sprint race on Saturday and the main race on Sunday, with various teams and drivers making adjustments to improve their performances.
