Carlos Sainz was relieved to finish the Mexican GP, even as he ended a distant fifth, having suffered first-lap retirements in the previous two F1 races in Japan and USA.
"I think I drove a pretty good race, but when you see the distance to the leader, there was not much more in it,” said Sainz when asked by Motorsport.com about his afternoon.
“But yeah, we maximised the points that the car could take today, and at least in a positive note we didn't lose too much, and now we can focus on Brazil and Abu Dhabi where we expect to be back in the pace."Photo by: Zak Mauger /Sainz did not want to elaborate on those power unit compromises, and instead wished to only focus on the positive aspects of his race.
He added: “The altitude sometimes here can be tough, but I think I drove a pretty good race. For once I was very quick, and unfortunately we were one minute off the pace."
