Sainz: 'It's a great comeback. A positive for the team'

After an abysmal weekend in France last week, Carlos Sainz finished in sixth place and was overjoyed with his performance after the race.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the chequered flag was flown, the Spaniard was asked how he felt with his performance, to which he exclaimed, "Very happy. Very good day in the office. We managed to have a really strong first stint on the medium, overcut pretty much the whole midfield with good pace."

However, he went on to explain that it wasn't all easy throughout the race, adding that, "Then a really weird scenario, I was on fresh hards and had Lando ahead but also had Lewis ahead.

Sainz ended by explaining the positive's but also the queries to their success in qualifying and not the race.
