We saw and we\u2019re reporting. We saw, we\u2019re reporting.\u201d<\/p>\n It soon transpired that Gasly did not emerge from the incident unscathed either as the Alpine driver, already battling issues with his battery, reported damage to his A525.<\/p>\n Gasly said: \u201cI think something is broken. The car is undriveable.\u201d<\/p>\n After crossing the line in 14th, Sainz asked Williams if the stewards took action for the collision with Gasly. The full exchange went as follows:<\/p>\n Jego: \u201cAnd that\u2019s P14. Gasly misjudged that quite a bit. It would have been a recovery to P13. We tried the one stop, it didn\u2019t work. There was potential for a point but it didn\u2019t make it. I think that was good to try. Good race, good battles out there.<\/p>\n James Vowles [Williams boss]: \u201cStrong drive today, Carlos. Well done. I think there was one position more ahead of you, but you did a good job. Ultimately, we need to go into the break, reset and we\u2019ll come back at races that we\u2019re going to be much, much stronger at. Thank you for this first half of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n Sainz: \u201cThank you, James. Ultimately we just lack pace at these circuits. Did they do something for Gasly?\u201d<\/p>\n Jego: \u201cHe got a 10-second penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n More on Carlos Sainz and Williams from PlanetF1.com<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Carlos Sainz news<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Williams news<\/a><\/p>\n The incident with Gasly is not the first time Sainz, who replaced Sebastian Vettel as a director<\/a> of the F1 drivers\u2019 union the Grand Prix Drivers\u2019 Association last winter, has called for another driver to be penalised over team radio.<\/p>\n
