We still don’t fully understand why we weren’t that fast: Carlos Sainz
As Motorsport-Total reports, the Spaniard expected that he would not be so far behind when it rains in Spa. He said he hoped the spa weekend would be an isolated one for the team.
“We still don’t fully understand why we weren’t as fast as we should have been in the wet. Especially compared to Imola, where the car was fantastic in the wet and we did some of the fastest laps in the race. And then we suddenly come to Spa and have real problems with the grip, ”said Sainz.

But the Ferrari driver is hoping for a better weekend in Zandvoort than in Spa.
“But we hope that it is an isolated incident and we hope that we will get back on track at this track, be back in Q3 and hopefully be among the top eight again,” said Carlos. (Translated with Google translator)
