  • Carlos Sainz finished a challenging weekend in Baku with fifth place, which translates into 10 points for the Drivers’ Championship. Together with the results of the Sprint, this means a total of 14 points for the entirety of the Azerbaijan GP.
  • The Spaniard held on to the fourth place during the opening part of the race, but he experienced a loss of rhythm when he switched to the Hard tyre and fell to fifth.
  • Carlos is already focused on the next weekend when the street race of the Miami GP is set to take place. He is currently fifth in the Drivers’ Championship.

QUOTES:
"This has been a very difficult weekend. P5 brings home some points but I must put my hand up and admit I lacked confidence under braking and the pace was not there. On the Medium tyre I could push a bit more, but with the harder compound I simply didn’t feel the car".

"Now I look forward to a reset, as Miami is just around the corner and I can’t wait to jump in the car again and keep pushing",

COMING UP:
Miami GP, Miami International Autodrome – 5-7 May 2023
