Just before the race ended, Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz collided. Christian Horner blamed Sainz for it, but Sainz felt he did nothing wrong.
Both drivers were having a good race until the crash happened, causing them to drop out and the race to end under a virtual safety car. Sainz shared his thoughts on the incident with several media outlets.
“Big accident. Unfortunately, I hit the barrier straight on the concrete wall. I was coming very quickly behind Charles and Checo. I had saved my tyres well. I moved over to Checo when he was fighting Charles,” said Sainz.
Who is Responsible?
Sainz believes he isn’t at fault for the Baku crash. “Then I think we exited turn two, I did my normal racing line, I didn’t do any strange manoeuvre or anything, and for some reason that I still don’t understand, we collided.”
“I think he [Checo] had plenty of space to lift. I didn’t do any strange movement. But I guess that’s racing. Sometimes you do 48 laps without doing anything, and then you get to two laps, three laps to go and things like this happen,” Sainz explained.
Fans might think it’s just part of racing’s unpredictability.
When asked if they had talked after the crash, Sainz replied: “Yeah, we spoke. We hadn’t seen the incident when we spoke. We will see it now at the stewards.”
