Sainz registered a Red Bull Ring DNF when his F1-75’s engine expired spectacularly towards the end of the race that teammate Charles Leclerc went on to win, which ended his glittering run of second place in Canada, winning the British GP and taking third in the Austria sprint race.
That run of form came after a hydraulics problem had put Sainz out in Baku, following his strong showing in the wet-to-dry Monaco race to take second place.
