Carlos Sainz drove a powerful race at the Sakhir Grand Prix as he finished P4 after 87 enduring laps. However, Carlos Sainz termed his race last weekend as a bitter finish and rues the fact that he missed a podium opportunity.

Carlos Sainz expressed his missed emotions in one of the weirdest ways after crossing the finishing line. A bit of happiness and a bit of a disappointment for the Spaniard at the Sakhir Grand Prix.

McLaren boss Andreas Seidl believes that the late safety car in Sakhir Grand Prix denied Sainz a podium finish. Carlos was on the hunt for the podium while on his last set of tyres as the safety car neutralized his attack.

Carlos Sainz had a quick start off the grid as he squeezed into P3. However, the Spaniard failed to convert his powerful start into a podium finish.

He said, “The podium was very very close the whole way but unfortunately, we couldn’t make it happen. The start was obviously eventful, and I managed to squeeze into P3”

The team decided to go on a two-stop strategy. After the last safety car, Sainz appears to have lost a lot each lap behind the Mercedes. In the end, Sainz missed the podium by a very small margin.
