“He needs to be more careful”
Carlos Sainz Jnr and Logan Sargeant were both destined to retire from the race in separate incidents, but the pair had a near-miss early on.
As the track dried out, Sainz was running 12th, and was initially eager to gamble on staying out on intermediate tyres when the rain returned. However his team mate was struggling with a power unit problem and Ferrari were preparing to bring him in for a long pit stop in an attempt to reset his electrics, which would lead them to gamble on a switch to slicks for him. Keeping Sainz on the more conservative strategy by fitting him with another set of intermediates meant they weren’t risking both cars.

“He just pushed me off
Sergio Perez and Pierre Gasly clashed on the first lap – the Red Bull driver’s second first-lap collision in as many races, though this time he was able to continue. Later Gasly dived past Perez, who took to the run-off area in avoidance:
