Carlos Sainz had a difficult time at the Formula 1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix due to early contact with Lewis Hamilton, which damaged his front wing, affecting his race for the remainder of the event. Despite the setback, Sainz still tried to fight for a top 10 finish but was hindered by the aerodynamic damage to his car. A slow pit stop further dashed his hopes of scoring points in the race. The team chose not to replace the damaged front wing during the race, opting to add flaps to compensate for the performance loss. Looking ahead to the next race in Las Vegas, Sainz is optimistic about the street circuit layout and believes it could benefit Williams in scoring valuable points for the season. He emphasized the need for the team to address weaknesses to perform well in the upcoming races and capitalize on opportunities for strong finishes in the final three events of the season.
