168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has denied that he was “aggressive” or “erratic” during his race-ending incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Battling for the podium, Sainz and Perez crash༺ed on Lap 50 oꦬf the race in Baku.

Perez had been attacking 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc just before his eventual contact with Sainz.

Reflecting on the incident, Sainz told Sky Sports: “Honestly, a very unfortunate ending. First of all, I’m glad that Checo♋ and I are okay.

“I ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdrove a solid race. I was very quick, coming into the top thre🅷e of the fastest on-track for the last 20 laps.

“But unfortunately, after passing Checo into Turn 1 and fighting Charles into Turn 2, there was a very unexpected contact ex✱iting Turn 2. I still don’t know how it ꧅happened.

“I didn’t do any erratic manoeuvres or aggressive move🌳s on Checo. For some reason, which I still don’t understand, we collided. That was the end.

“This time I am 100% convinced that I didn’t do anything wrong, or anything aggress❀ive.”

Stewards investigated the incident but opted to take no♏ further action.

Up until the crash, it was a positive da🔴y for Ferrari, which challenged McLaren once again f🗹or the victory.

Sainz was initially cut adrift of the top three before putting in a strong stint at th𓆏e end of the race to challenge for the top three.

Despite the end r💙esult, the Spaniard🌳 was pleased with his pace.

“I was very quick,” he added. “Honestl🐎y, I lost a lot of time at the pit stop and I had a very poor in lap after I hit the cliff with the medium tyre and it left me 10 seconds behind. But I was the quickest out there today and I think I was on for second place and that’s why I’m so disappointed overall.

“Very strong pace, very strong𒊎 race, so it’s extremely disappointing at a track where I am normally a bit on the slow side, today I was very quick, so it’s disappointing🍨.”
