Carlos Sainz didn't manage to qualify higher than P13, just ahead of teammate Alexander Albon in P14.
So, both Williams cars failed to make it into Q3. Despite the setback, Sainz's mind still drifts to the events that took place during the Dutch GP.
Sainz still fighting with FIA
The FIA penalty marked the last nail in the coffin of Sainz's race in Netherlands, the contact with Lawson costed him 10 seconds and 2 points on the license, apart from the damage to his Williams FW47. Sainz requested a review of the case and the investigation is going on.
On the situation he told to GPblog: "At the moment we cannot discuss it much because it's under investigation. So there's not the possibility to actually open the debate and the discussion.

"But yeah, there was some attempt to do [it] and it was pretty clear what everyone thought in that room.
"It was a very positive meeting at the same time no one's going to take away the 10 seconds in a race for poor decision or poor judgment that's why we need to get better to avoid this kind of mistakes from happening."
Carlos Sainz still fighting for his 2 points
The cause behind Sainz's fight is the 2 points removed from the super license: "To be honest, it's left my mind now. I'm not bothered too much.
"I wish they take away the two penalty points on my license because I don't deserve two penalty points, even less I deserve ten seconds in a race. But that's the way it goes and tomorrow I can race and forget that chapter."
