The Briton served it when he entered the pits to change tires. Carlos Sainz's disappointing end to amazing weekendCarlos Sainz will be disappointed with how his weekend turned out after an amazing performance on Saturday. The Spaniard blitzed to pole position, beating Max Verstappen and the pair of Mercedes drivers. He had previously started on pole this season at Silverstone and Spa, winning the British Grand Prix.However, it was an end to another weekend where Ferrari could have scored some great points but external factors prevented them from doing so. Ferrari will also need to outscore Red Bull by 19 points to stay in the constructors championship, but that seems very unlikely at this stage of the race.Verstappen looks set to win his thirteenth of the season and tie the record for most wins in a single season. Carlos Sainz will be looking for redemption next week in Mexico. Ferrari will be targeting a win there and will look to finish second in the constructors championship, ahead of Mercedes.
