Carlos Sainz says "we'll be back" after disappointing race

Carlos Sainz was having a great race until an incident he had with Max Verstappen caused damage to his car which effectively ended his weekend. The McLaren had been looking fast and Lando Norris was able to finish 6th adding insult to injury to Sainz not finishing. Sainz admitted that he was 'disappointed' but will hope that he performs well in China.  

“I’m very disappointed with how things turned out, ” said Sainz to The Checkered Flag. “I made a great start and had a lot of pace in the initial laps which meant I was running with the top-five cars. I attempted a move on the Red Bull, tried around the outside but was hit.”

“I got the worst of it with the puncture and ended up retiring the car for a different reason, so I’m obviously very disappointed. I was up for some good points but it didn’t end well.”

"On the positive side, the car felt okay and Lando scored good points for the team, so congratulations. We’ll be back in China.”

McLaren seems to be the team that has made the most progress this season and will hope to get both cars to finish in the points at the next race.
