“It’s not a bad result [Sainz], maybe capitalised on the mistakes of others,” she said. “There’s a lot of people discussing why they stopped too late in the race. “Leclerc sounded like he was having a really bad day, some damage to the floor. Even before that, they didn’t seem to understand. “Qualifying was not tremendous for them at times in the changeable conditions. “Let’s hope like they say Monza is going to be stronger as it can’t be a lot worse than this weekend really.”
