Don’t they have a spare car? F1 should have a clause in the rules to allow a replacement in a case like this where it’s clear a track defect caused the damage
that would be best case scenario different winner and 50% less whining 100% less if he take Hamilton with him!

That’s funny as hell. The minimum wage road ape is at this moment more important than all the eight figure “recording artists” in town.
Well they have 24 hours or so before qualifying...and if necessary they could also cancel that and draw straws for grid positions and not award any points for the race. Interesting if Sainz' car is unable to compete.
