Carlos Sainz took aim at Williams over their Brazilian Grand Prix Sprint qualifying \u201cexecution\u201d after ending SQ1 as the slowest driver, sealing his elimination.<\/p>\n
Sainz<\/a> claimed over team radio that never before in his life had he seen such a poor showing, in terms of Williams not putting him in an on-track position to deliver his best possible lap. Yet, an error from the Spaniard at Turn 1 was highlighted as the cause of his elimination by Sky F1\u2019s Karun Chandhok.<\/p>\n Carlos Sainz fumes over Brazilian GP SQ1 exit<\/p>\n Having finished the sole practice session at Interlagos eighth, Sainz went into Sprint qualifying with some momentum. That quickly evaporated as he finished SQ1 as the slowest of the 20 drivers.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the worst execution, the worst execution, I have seen in my life,\u201d he told his Williams team over the radio as his exit was confirmed.<\/p>\n Speaking following the session, Sainz doubled down on his feeling of frustration.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just simply didn\u2019t do a good qualy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, first run was quite messy with traffic, and problems with getting the tyres up to temperature. But then the second run, we managed to make our life even more difficult, and we almost didn\u2019t put two laps in.<\/p>\n \u201cSo yeah, in general, just, I go out of this qualy without knowing what was the limit or the performance of the car, because we didn\u2019t even do two laps.\u201d<\/p>\n Having missed Thursday\u2019s media day at Interlagos due to illness, Sainz added: \u201cI\u2019m physically obviously not 100 per cent, but the pace in FP1 shows that I could have done a fast lap today, if needed, but we managed to put ourselves in a position to never complete a fast lap, so it\u2019s impossible to know what we could have done.\u201d<\/p>\n More from the Brazilian Grand Prix via PlanetF1.com<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Max Verstappen paints bleak Red Bull picture as \u2018broken\u2019 comment explained<\/a><\/p>\n
