Carlos Sainz labelled Ferrari's difficult Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix as 'very weak, very disappointing' as neither he nor Charles Leclerc finished the race with separate issues.
The Spaniard spent much of the grand prix struggling with pace and could not crack the top 10, and his chances were further dented when he made contact with Alex Albon at Turn 6 after spinning to put the Williams driver out. Sainz felt that he had to 'take risks' to make progress in the slick-tyre phase of the race, which he felt was likely responsible for his Turn 6 strife, as he felt the competitiveness swing slightly in his favour as the circuit started to dry.
There was clearly something the others were doing in qualifying with the tyres to prep them better.' Charles Leclerc had to cope with a power unit issue throughout the race, which he was initially told was costing him about half a second in the straights, and he had to change a number of settings on his steering wheel throughout to try to alleviate the problem.
