Ferrari’s «very weak» F1 Canadian GP weekend a one-off
The Spaniard spent much of the grand prix struggling with pace and could not crack the top 10, and his chances were further dented when he made contact with Alex Albon at Turn 6 after spinning to put the Williams driver out. Sainz felt that he had to «take risks» to make progress in the […]
