- Qualifying: P18, 1:13.203, 6 laps

• Carlos Sainz was eliminated in Q1 of the Spanish GP Qualifying session due to the traffic jam caused in the pit lane by a technical issue on Franco Colapinto’s Alpine.
• The traffic caused by this circumstance led to an out-lap and a flying lap out of the expected sequence, both of which were affected by traffic and dirty air. This prevented the Spaniard from maximising all his potential.
• The Williams driver will work tonight with his engineers to design a strategy that maximises his comeback chances in a race where the tyre degradation is expected to be high.

QUOTES:
“Very disappointing day. After our struggles yesterday we made some good changes overnight that put us in contention for a good result. Unfortunately, the delay in the pit lane due to an issue of the Alpine meant I was out of position for my second push in Q1 and had to overtake five or six cars during my lap. With such a tight field, having that amount of dirty air made me lose valuable tenths and that put a premature ending to my session in Q1, which is not good. I’ll do my best to fight through the field tomorrow and give my home crowd something to cheer for. Let’s see what we can do!".
