Double retreat
Carlos Sainz completes an absolute nightmare weekend for Ferrari in Montreal and must join Charles Leclerc: double retirement for the two red single-seaters in the 2024 Canadian GP, a thunderous and certainly unexpected flop after the triumph in Monaco.
There Sainz’s Canadian race was played in complete anonymity, with the Iberian driver who almost always remained outside the points zone. He was returning to it precisely in the phase of the race that preceded his retirement, which came due to his own fault driving erroras honestly admitted on the radio.
Albon ‘collateral’ victim
On lap 54 of 70, Sainz pinched the curb in the ‘S’ of turns 8-9, losing control of his SF-24 and spinning. In the spin, car #55 also ‘overwhelmed’ Alex Albon’s unfortunate Williamswho was behind him and had been running a splendid race up to that point.
The retirement for the Thai was immediate while Sainz – who also apologized via radio for the accident caused – then continued to the pit lane, before putting his red car in the garage. For Maranello, this is the first double knockout in over two years: the last occurred in the 2022 Azerbaijan GP.
