McLaren driver Carlos Sainz was left frustrated again at the end of a qualifying session because of traffic, and the Spaniard has said he's "getting tired" of other cars interfering on his hot lap.
Sainz was just left outside of Q3, qualifying in 11th, although he will start in 10th because of Antonio Giovinazzi's grid penalty. Still, he got hindered by a Haas on his final run in Q2, he explained.
"We were doing times that could've gotten us into Q3 easily," Sainz told Movistar F1.
"We did an out lap and on the ultimate lap before the checkered flag, we found a Haas in front of us and you know what happens next; yellow flag and you have to abort the lap.
"Imagine the frustration I have for having my performance affected again by something I can't control. I'm started to get tired of it, others' mistakes affecting me. It's ridiculous," the Spaniard concluded.
