Is the Ferrari F1-75 too quick for Carlos Sainz? The Spanish driver once again pushed a bit too hard at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix qualifying as he crashed out of the session. Sainz was setting the timings alight but could not stop himself from pushing the car too hard to extract more performance.

This is an important weekend for Sainz as he signed a new 2-year deal with the Italian team. But it is more important as he is slowly slipping away from the championship fight against his teammate Charles Leclerc.
Carlos Sainz crashed out of Q2 of the Imola qualifying
The Ferrari driver had put the fastest lap of the Q2 on his first lap. But in his quest to find more lap time and more performance, he lost the car at the Rivazza-2 corner. It is reported that he was improving on his fastest lap and going even faster.

But Sainz will now start the Sprint Race tomorrow from P10. He will not take part in the Q3 session of the qualifying, making his job tougher for tomorrow.
Ferrari fans took to Twitter to share their pain after Sainz’s unfortunate crash. Fans share their concerns over the performances of the Spanish driver in the early part of the season.
Sainz jokes aside, I am actually pretty concerned that at some point he’s gonna be involved in a really dangerous crash, potentially involving other drivers.
The guy literally can’t control the car, he’s a danger to himself and others at the moment imo.

It would be interesting to see how the Ferrari driver bounces back tomorrow at the Sprint Race. He really needs to drive out of his heart to produce a performance that will make up for the crash.
