Sainz held onto fifth at Zandvoort on Sunday, resisting late pressure from Mercedes’ ꧑Lewis Hamilton.

Despite having track position, Sainz was overtaken by Aston Martin’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, and more surprisingly, the Alpine of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly, who ultimately finished on the podium.

Overall, it was a 🍸poor weekend for Ferrari, with both drive🦩rs struggling with the handling of the car.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc w⛎as forced to retire from the race after sustaining significant damage.

“I would say after looking at the Alpine more the ꦆsixth fastest car this weekend,” Sainz said.

“But yeah, when you’re going into a race and going into yesterday’s quali that we were just lacking this weekend, and we had to focus in maximising a🐷 good result or a decent result and we did that today.

“Even in the last stint when I knew I had one set of inters left to put on for the last seven laps and the tꦇyres were destroyed f꧋rom yesterday’s quali, I still managed to keep Hamilton behind and bring home a P5 that was honestly not on the cards, I think.”

Even though Sainz hasn’t finished on the podium so far in F1 2023, he sits ahead of his teammate and George 💜Russell in the standings.

Overall, Sa🥂inz was pleased with👍 his “well-executed” Dutch GP.

“I�🔥� know at some point it looked that we even could fight for a podium, but the reality is that when the race was settled, when you look at our pace we were just nowhere in terms of pace,” Sainz said.

“But we managed to e🧜xecute a really good race, we were fighting the whole race with people that were not in our race, fighting a lot quicker cars than us.

“So we have to be happy and proud of a well-executed P5, [but] obviously not happy with the feeling of theꦍ car and how much I struggled out there today.”
