Battling for the podium, Sainz and ꧟Perez crashed 🍨on Lap 50 of 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 ജtold Sky Sports: “Honestly, a very unfortunate ending. First of all,🍨 I’m glad that Checo and I are okay.

“I drove a solid race. I was very quick, coming into the top t🥂hree of the fastest on-track for the last 20 lapsಞ.

“B🎀ut unfortunately, after passing Checo into Turn 1 and fighting Charles into Turn 2, there was a very unexpected contact exiting Turn 2. I still don’t know how it happened.

“I didn’t do any erratic manoeuvres or aggressive moves on Checo. For some 𒀰reason, which I still don’t understand, we collided. That ℱwas the end.

“This time I am 100% convinced that I didn’t do anything wrong, or ☂anything aggressive.”

Stewards investigated the incident but opted to take no fur🙈ther action.

Up until the crash, it was a positive day for Ferrari, which challenged McLaren once again for the💙 victory.

Sainz was initially cut adrift of the top tಞhree before putting in a strong stint at the end of the race to c🌳hallenge for the top three.

De♊spite the end result, the ജSpaniard was pleased with his pace.

“I was very quick,” he added. “Honestly, 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 wh⛎y I’m so disappointed overall.

“Very strong pace๊, very strong 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.”
