Carlos Sainz was the only non-finisher at the United States Grand Prix after he collided with Kimi Antonelli.<\/p>\n

The Williams<\/a> and Mercedes<\/a> drivers\u2019 crash was the only contact between cars at the United States Grand Prix<\/a>. The race was mostly a procession as Max Verstappen dominated for victory<\/a> from pole position.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman claimed the win in the Sprint on Saturday, while Sainz finished a stunning P3. He managed to navigate the first-lap chaos after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri crashed out<\/a> at the first corner.<\/p>\n

Sainz<\/a> looked to continue the momentum into Sunday\u2019s race by qualifying P9. He found his way past Oliver Bearman at turn 16, but he could not replicate the move against Antonelli<\/a> on lap six.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard tried to dive down the inside of the Italian, but hit the back of Antonelli and sent him into a spin. Sainz was left with a puncture and front wing damage, which ultimately forced him to retire.<\/p>\n

Antonelli continued and went on to finish an unlucky 13th. A points finish was definitely on the cards for the 19-year-old, had it not been for his incident with Sainz, with many fans pinning the blame on the Williams driver on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

\u201cSainz 100% at fault,\u201d said one fan. Another echoed: \u201cALL of Sainz\u2019s fault. Second Dive Bomb that he throws himself into, without reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCarlos did not live up to what he did yesterday,\u201d wrote one user. Another said: \u201cDamn sucks for Carlos but I feel like that was his fault.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is Sainz doing man? Antonelli must be fuming,\u201d wrote another disgruntled fan. Finally, one added: \u201cSainz didn\u2019t understand that the front car was turning on a corner that requires the front car to turn. Stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking in the media pen after the race via Sky Sports F1<\/a> (19\/10, 10:34 pm), Sainz felt that Antonelli was too \u2018aggressive\u2019 with his defence into turn 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I was coming quick after having done a very good move on Ollie two laps before, exactly the same corner, exactly the same pass,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Ollie, it worked perfectly, with Kimi, I think he was being a bit more aggressive on the defence, started closing in on me quite aggressively.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when I saw we were about to crash, because he was closing the angle, hit the brakes harder, locked up and that\u2019s what created the crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, I know that from the outside it looks like a clear mistake from my side. From the inside, having done that move the previous lap, or two laps before. Yes, I could have avoided the lock-up, but it felt a bit more aggressive from Kimi than from Ollie.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Carlos Sainz was the only non-finisher at the United States Grand Prix after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[3032,49,48,3020,578,576,577,1881,82,106694,11813],"class_list":["post-226524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-andrea-kimi-antonelli","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-carlos-sainz","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-mercedes","tag-sports","tag-united-states-grand-prix","tag-williams-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
