Sainz: Late Issue Doesn't Cloud Progress

Until the last day, Renault was one of the most productive teams out there, but on Friday a gearbox caused problems for the French team. Carlos Sainz Jr. has said that this late problem shouldn't hinder the process that the team has made.

“It [the gearbox problem] was frustrating for me and the team, but this doesn’t cloud what was a productive week of testing in Barcelona,” the Spaniard said.

Team boss Cyrit Abiteboul also weighed in on the argument.
