Carlos Sainz: “I’m not going to complain too much”

Carlos Sainz a finished 2nd in the Monaco Grand Prix, behind Sergio Pérez (Red Bull). The Spaniard spent the last laps in the Mexican's exhausts, without succeeding in finding the fault. Nevertheless, it saves the furniture from Ferrari, who completely failed in his pit stop strategy which will surely have cost the victory to Charles Leclerc. Ultimately, Carlos Sainz did not want to complain too much about this 2nd place in the streets of the Principality.

“It was a crazy race, but I thought we did everything we needed to do to win it. We remained patient with the rain tires. We then made the decision to switch to slicks. Then I lost a lot of time behind some latecomers. If I had had a clear lap, I might have taken the lead and won. Halfway through the race I started to realize that I could see the dry track lines? I told myself that we had to switch to slick tires straight away. I thought it was the right solution because we were leading the race. But I lost time in my out lap behind some latecomers. But I'm not going to complain too much. Sergio (Pérez) was unlucky in Jeddah, there the roles are reversed. He had a great race. Like him, I suffered from graining. It was difficult to get close to him at the exit of the tunnel. I was close to attempting a maneuver, but it was still a little wet. Checo braked quite late, and if I had braked later than him, we would have collided. »
