The Spanish driver, Sainz, had a challenging race starting from 12th place and struggling to keep up with slower competitors due to the wet conditions at the beginning. Despite aiming to make progress towards the end on slick tires, he unfortunately spun at Turn 6, causing damage and hindering his performance. Sainz expressed disappointment about the lack of pace throughout the race and the missed opportunity for overtaking. Ferrari’s unexpected difficulties at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve were a setback, especially with the car’s struggles with kerbs and tyre temperature during qualifying.
