Sainz proud of Renault's performance

Carlos Sainz has announced he is proud of Renault’s earlier season performance after finishing 7th in the Spanish Grand Prix.

Performing in front of home fans, he managed to gain 2 places on his qualifying position. He’s kept his 100% record of scoring points in Barcelona.

“We can be very proud of what we’ve achieved this weekend, as this track was not ideal for us,” said Sainz.

Renault is leading the mid-field battle by just 1 point. They’re also within 39 points of Red Bull despite down on pace compared the Austrian team.

So far the mid-field battle isn’t as competitive as expected in pre-season. Realistically there are two teams in the race for 4th, but Haas has shown promise to improve. Sainz and Renault are remaining cautious of this.
