Sainz: Lewis had no right to shift on braking like that
On the last lap of the Miami Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton collided at Turn 17. The stewards reviewed the incident and did not apply penalties to any of the riders. However, Carlos continues to insist that Lewis has shifted too much on braking.
Carlos Sainz: "Obviously, Lewis did everything possible to defend the position. As soon as he saw that I had dived into the last corner, he immediately began to shift. This led to a rather typical contact, I must say.
Obviously, if you follow what's written in the rules, Lewis had no right to shift the way he did. But on the last lap, what happened happened.
On the other hand, I'm really encouraged by the fact that we fought with Mercedes and Ferrari. I believe that with new tires and an undamaged car, I could have fought for fifth place, given the starting position. I'm disappointed that I couldn't make the most of the pace we had this weekend.
There were too many operational mistakes on our part. The team will analyze everything to understand how it could have worked better. I want to make the most of it next time we have a competitive car."
