Carlos Sainz Jr.: Limited running in Australia
Sainz finished 15th in the Australian Grand Prix F1 race at Albert Park Circuit on Sunday.
Analysis:
Williams began the season in disappointing form, and Sainz was on the receiving end of most of the bad luck. He was unable to run in FP2 and missed all but one lap in FP3, and things only got worse when the team couldn't correct the problem in time for qualifying. Sainz's race was thus doomed before it began to mark a disappointing start to the season.
