Sainz 'Sorry for the contact with Max'

Carlos Sainz finished the sprint race second, but an engine change means he will have to move back five places on Sunday. The Spaniard was satisfied with his performance in Brazil. He passed Max Verstappen, among others.

Sainz said afterwards: "It was on the limit. You have to be aggressive on the brakes, otherwise you don't pass them (Red Bull Racing). Sorry there is a bit of contact, but sometimes you have to accept that."

The Spaniard looks ahead to tomorrow. "Mercedes has a bit more speed, but we'll see what happens tomorrow on mediums. Like Verstappen did today."
