Carlos Sainz Jr. ended the Monaco Grand Prix in 10th place. However, the Spaniard wasn’t the happiest driver after the race ended. Although he brought a valuable point for Renault, Sainz Jr. felt “very bitter” after what he called a “disaster of a race.”
Sainz Jr. believes he and the team made a mistake by opting to pit in for ultrasofts instead of supersofts and feels that the choice ruined his chances to obtain a better result today. The Spaniard pitted on lap 15 of 17 for ultrasofts. Therefore he covered more than fifty laps on Pirelli’s second softest tyre compound.
