Carlos Sainz goes from research to research. After the third free practice session, the man from Madrid had to appear before the commissioners for disturbing Alex Albon in the chicane of the ‘Wall of Champions’ in Canada.
Finally, the Ferrari driver emerged unscathed from the investigationbut in Q1 history repeated itself. Carlos and Yuki Tsunoda were practically standing still in the middle of the floor when Pierre Gasly appeared at more than 300 kilometers per hour.
The Frenchman had to dodge Sainz by going off the trackwhich prevented him from improving his time, so he salrá from the seventeenth position in the grill.
After the incident, Gasly took out all his anger against Sainz through the radio. “It should be disqualified! It was coming at 300 an hour! What was I thinking?the Frenchman yelled.
The incident will be investigated by the commissioners at the end of the classification, so, taking into account the precedents, he would have to go to the race direction to declare and could receive a penalty of at least three positions on the starting grid.
