- Race: P14, 69 laps

• Carlos Sainz went for an alternative strategy in the Hungarian GP to try and find his way to the points, but it was not successful, and in the end, he had to settle for fourteenth.
• The Williams race driver started on Soft tyres and switched to Hards at the end of Lap 15, but there was still too much race ahead and he had to pit for a second time.
• In that final run, the Spaniard made steady progress from eighteenth place until Pierre Gasly pushed him out of the track when he was about to overtake him to move up to fourteenth.
• This incident cost him momentum and also track position to Nico Hülkenberg, but in the closing laps he was able to overtake both Gasly and also Esteban Ocon to cross the line in fourteenth position.

QUOTES:
"It was a cleaner weekend for us; it’s just a shame it’s not on a weekend where the car is strong. P13 looked like the maximum, which is where we would’ve been without the incident with Gasly. We tried to do a one-stop but that was probably too optimistic going from the Soft to the Hard, but we tried to do something different before switching to the two stop. I’m leaving the first half of the season slightly disappointed as we didn’t maximise the weekends where we were stronger, but hopefully the second half of the season is the other way around. A big thanks to the team for their massive effort and to all our fans for their endless support. We’ll reset, recharge and come back stronger for the rest of the season!".
