Sainz suspects Brazil F1 launch problems caused by faulty Ferrari clutch
Carlos Sainz started the race in sixth position but lost places to Sergio Perez and George Russell at the start, dropping to eighth before the race was red-flagged due to a collision involving Alex Albon and Kevin Magnussen. Sainz complained about start problems all weekend and requested his team to replace the clutch, mentioning issues with the left gear shift paddle. He confirmed it was a faulty part and not a calibration issue. Sainz expressed disappointment as these issues cost him points over the weekend and mentioned that Ferrari had been struggling with starts throughout the season. Sainz also noted that teammate Charles Leclerc’s early crash due to an electronics failure deprived them of a chance to score points against Mercedes.
