Carlos Sainz: That was the expected result.

      At the Spanish Grand Prix at home, Carlos Sainz's productive streak of four consecutive finishes in the top ten was interrupted. In Barcelona, Sainz achieved only the fourteenth place, and his Williams teammate Alex Elbon withdrew from the race due to a damaged car.

      Carlos Sainz (14th): "It's a difficult race for me and the team. On the first lap, I damaged the front wing, which led to a big loss of time, and the engine overheated when I was chasing rivals closely.

      The pace looked better on an empty track, but the weekend as a whole wasn't very positive, but that was to be expected. I want to thank the fans for their incredible support all week and hope we return to Canada in better shape."

      Alex Albon (exit): "I lost pretty badly at the start and ended up behind at the first corner. The competitors in front tried to avoid contact with each other, but my car was hit. So we had to switch to a three-stop strategy to replace the front wing. I tried to do everything to avoid an incident, but I also got damaged the second time.

      We need to figure out why we have such difficulties with this track. I want our team to become one of the leaders, so it is important to test the car on tracks of this type in order to get useful information and optimize the car for the future. Overall, I feel like I'm interacting well with the car, so I'm looking forward to the race in Canada."
