塞恩斯赞德福特练习赛砂石路受损，正接受调查
卡洛斯·塞恩斯在赞德福特大奖赛练习赛中因多次驶过“激进”的砂石路导致赛车部件受损，被迫使用竞争力较差的部件，并在冲刺赛排位赛后因涉嫌“不必要慢速行驶”接受调查。
小卡洛斯·塞恩斯表示，在荷兰大奖赛练习赛中受损后，他不得不换回竞争力较差的部件。
他还暗示，威廉姆斯车队在准备于阿塞拜疆大奖赛为赛车引入重大升级时，备件库存已经不多。塞恩斯在第一次练习赛中三次冲出赛道，打乱了他为今天的冲刺赛排位赛所做的准备。
“今天早上我在赛车的平衡方面遇到了很大困难，不幸的是几次冲进了砂石区，”塞恩斯说。“我们损坏了赛车上相当多的部件，所以在我的第一次练习赛中，我无法使用正确的部件，而我们在本周末剩余时间里必须装到车上的部件，在下压力和性能输出方面都不是最好的。”
“但事实就是这样。在巴库获得升级之前，我们在所有方面都有点紧张，不幸的是这条赛道的砂石路相当激进，会损坏赛车上相当多的部件。所以我们会努力在冲刺赛中尽可能多地学习，然后应对本周末剩余的比赛。”
尽管如此，塞恩斯对他在冲刺赛排位赛中的表现感到满意，最终他在发车格上排名第18。“显然SQ1的关键在于前两圈，”他说，“而我在第一次练习赛中没能获得正确的认知，所以并不是说我能做出两个非常好的圈速，因为最终你会因为从第一次练习赛中缺乏了解而吃亏。”
“但考虑到我跑的圈数很少，而且我的赛车状况很受影响，我认为我做出了几个不错的圈速。”
排位赛后，赛会干事宣布塞恩斯因在排位赛期间可能“不必要地慢速行驶”而接受调查。
塞恩斯的队友亚历山大·阿尔本证实，车队车手们必须小心，以免耗尽备用部件库存。“显然我们使用这些赛车已经有一段时间了，我们有一段时间没有升级了，所以它们有点磨损，我们必须好好对待它们。”

Carlos Sainz Jnr says he has had to revert to less competitive components after sustaining damage during practice for the Dutch Grand Prix.
He also indicated Williams are running low on their stock of parts as they prepare to introduce a major upgrade for their car at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Sainz went off three times during the first practice session which disrupted his preparations for today’s sprint race qualifying session.
“I struggled a lot this morning with the balance of the car and unfortunately went off into the gravel a few times,” said Sainz. “We damaged quite a lot of parts on the car, so in my FP1 I couldn’t run with the right components and the components that we have to put on the car for the rest of the weekend are not the best in terms of downforce and performance delivery.
“But it’s what it is. We are a bit tight on everything until we get the upgrade in Baku and unfortunately the gravel in in this track is quite aggressive and it breaks quite a lot of parts of the car. So we’ll try and learn as much as possible in the sprint and we’ll take the rest of the weekend.”
Nonetheless Sainz was pleased with his effort in qualifying for the sprint race, which left him 18th on the grid. “Obviously SQ1 is all about the first two laps,” he said, “and I didn’t get a proper read in FP1 so it’s not like I could do two very good laps because in the end you’re suffering with the lack of knowledge that you carry from FP1.
“But given how little I ran and how compromised my car is, I think I did a couple of good laps.”
After the qualifying the stewards announced Sainz is under investigation for potentially “driving unnecessarily slowly” during the session.
Sainz’s team mate Alexander Albon confirmed the team’s drivers are having to take care not to deplete their stack of spare parts. “We’ve obviously had these cars for a while now, we haven’t upgraded for a while, so they’re a little bit worse for wear, so we have to treat them nicely.”
