Carlos Sainz drove a powerful race at the Sakhir Grand Prix as he finished P4 after 87 enduring laps. However, Carlos Sainz termed his race last weekend as a bitter finish and rues the fact that he missed a podium opportunity. Carlos Sainz expressed his missed emotions in one of the weirdest ways after crossing the finishing line. A bit of happiness and a bit of a disappointment for the Spaniard at the Sakhir Grand Prix. McLaren boss Andreas Seidl believes that the late safety car in Sakhir Grand Prix denied Sainz a podium finish. Carlos was on the hunt for the podium while on his last set of tyres as the safety car neutralized his attack.

However, the Spaniard failed to convert his powerful start into a podium finish. He said [https://www.mclaren.com/racing/2020/sakhir-grand-prix/2020-sakhir-grand-prix/], “The podium was very very close the whole way but unfortunately, we couldn’t make it happen. The start was obviously eventful, and I managed to squeeze into P3” The team decided to go on a two-stop strategy. After the last safety car, Sainz appears to have lost a lot each lap behind the Mercedes. In the end, Sainz missed the podium by a very small margin.

It’s frustrating, but at the same time we’ve been beaten by cars that were a bit luckier today and also a bit faster the whole weekend,” he further added. Carlos admitted that he was disappointed, but he needs to move on to the next race. He stated that he is going to fight till the last chequered flag. Meanwhile, he congratulated Sergio on his win as he focuses on the last race of the season. Carlos Sainz will drive his last race for McLaren at Abu Dhabi. Sainz is making a move to Ferrari next year, replacing Sebastian Vettel. He will hope that Ferrari’s power unit woes end as he begins the new chapter of his Formula 1 career. 

Carlos Sainz had a bitter-sweet race as he just missed a podium finish and
expressed himself in a weird way over the radio after the race.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix took over the Brazilian GP?s spot on the Formula 1 calendar since its introduction. Following a provision calendar announcement in 2008, F1 drivers and teams got ready for their inaugural trip to the Yas Marina Circuit in 2009. Since then?except in 2011, 2012, and 2013?The Abu Dhabi GP has been the last race of the season. Yas Marina is, in every aspect, a modern-day track. Although it does nothing to rival the excitement of racing in Interlagos, it?s played a pretty good host to a few championship showdowns.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1338470" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1338470 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-20T131442Z_241423399_UP1EIBK10SG73_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="F1" width="1920" height="1194" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - November 20, 2022 General view at the start of the race REUTERS/Aleksandra Szmigiel[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">The inaugural race in 2009 became the first day-night race on the calendar. The following year saw the first champion-deciding race on the new circuit. Going into the race, Ferrari?s Fernando Alonso was in the championship lead, followed by Red Bull?s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. McLaren?s Lewis Hamilton was also in contention, but his chances seemed less likely. Vettel got pole position for the race and converted it into a race win. With Alonso managing only a P6, the German became the youngest championship winner.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The next title-deciding fight happened in 2016 between the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. As race day approached, Rosberg had a 12-point lead over Hamilton in the championship. Rosberg only needed a podium finish to win the championship, and that?s exactly what he did, despite some sly tactics employed by Hamilton. The Brit was in the lead with Rosberg in second, knowing fully well that if this continued, he?d lose the title. Hamilton started aching the field up, hoping the other drivers would catch Rosberg and challenge him for P2. That didn?t happen because Rosberg?s compatriot Vettel held his ground and brought the car home in P3.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">That became only the second season in Hamilton?s career where his teammate outperformed him. While Rosberg retired from F1 after the race, Hamilton kept his quest for title glory going. And it?s still on. Since then, the three-time champion has become a seven-time champion. Had it not been for things that happened in the most recent title showdown Abu Dhabi has seen, he could?ve been an eight-time champion.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 2021 Abu Dhabi GP was a culmination of a season-long, explosive battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. They entered the race equal on points. With around 10 laps to go, it seemed like Hamilton would clinch his eighth title. But a late Safety Car and a questionable procedure followed during the SC period gave Verstappen the chance to steal the title from the Brit. Verstappen didn?t need a second invitation and clinched his maiden championship.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Scheduled from 24th to 26th November, the Abu Dhabi GP is Round 23 on the calendar. Red Bull and Max Verstappen have already sealed the Constructors? and Drivers? Championship this season, but there may still be a lot to play for. The battles for P2 in both championships could be decided at Yas Marina, and so could the fight for P4 in the team standings.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1338463" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1338463 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-20T143710Z_888989617_UP1EIBK14LWEC_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1174" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - November 20, 2022 Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates after winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix REUTERS/Leonhard Foeger[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Last time out, Max Verstappen set the fastest lap in qualifying with a 1:23.824. He converted his pole to a win?a record 15th victory of the year, one he could break this season. Since 2015, the driver who qualified on pole has won the race. Considering the limited number of overtaking opportunities, qualifying is crucial in Abu Dhabi.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from the F1 action, F1?s weekend at Yas Marina is set to be a party. Popstar Ava Max is set to light up the stage on Thursday, followed by Grammy-winning Dutch DJ and producer Ti?sto the same night. To cap off the weekend and the 2023 F1 season, legendary rock band Foo Fighters will turn Yas Marina into party central!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Most Winners</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Since the first Abu Dhabi GP in 2009, it has made its way into the calendar every year. The organizers have also signed a contract with F1 to host the season-ending race until at least 2030. In the 14 editions of the race, there have only been six winners, the most successful of whom is Lewis Hamilton, with 5 victories. During his time at Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel won three of the five races at Yas Marina. Max Verstappen seems to be continuing Vettel?s Red Bull legacy, winning every edition since 2020.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from these three repeat winners, Kimi Raikkonen (2012), Nico Rosberg (2015), and Valtteri Bottas (2017) have crossed the line in P1 in Abu Dhabi.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Turns 5 and 6 were a left-right chicane leading into Turn 7, a narrow hairpin. Now, Turn 4 to the hairpin?which is much wider?is a straight that leads into the 1.2km straight. Turns 11 to 14 had a similar layout pre-2021. 11 and 12 were a left-right chicane leading into two successive slow-speed lefts. That?s now been made into a sweeping, banked curve.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Carlos Sainz 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Carlos Sainz Jr. is a Spanish racing driver presently driving for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula 1. He is the son of a race driver, Carlos Sainz Sr., who is a two-time World Rally champion. The Spaniard first made headlines when he ended McLaren's podium drought at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. And since then, it has been a dream in F1 for Sainz, thanks to his strong end to the McLaren stint followed by a promising start with Ferrari.

He made his debut in Formula 1 in 2015 with Toro Rosso alongside Max Verstappen. Since then, he remained within the Red Bull circle for a fairly long time. However, he was recruited by the Renault Formula 1 towards the end of the 2017 season. In the process, he replaced the British driver, Jolyon Palmer, and partnered with Nico Hulkenberg. After a year with the French manufacturer, he joined the McLaren team in 2019. With the Woking squad, Sainz Jr has blossomed and rewarded them with a maiden podium.

Other than that, Sainz Jr. is well known for his consistency.

In 2019, Sainz was the benchmark of consistency. Aside from a tough first three races, he finished in the points in 13 races. This included a five-race point-scoring streak from France to Hungary. His 2019 championship run saw him finish with 96 points and a fine 6th place. In the final race of 2019, he managed to finish ahead of Pierre Gasly to clinch a spot in the Top-6.

At the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, he qualified third behind the dominant Mercedes duo of Hamilton and Bottas. He went on to finish second, his career-best race finish, and the second podium, finishing 0.4 seconds behind race winner Pierre Gasly. 2021 was Sainz's most successful F1 season yet, as the Spaniard secured 4 podiums in total. His first podium under Ferrari arrived in Monaco, followed by Hungary, Sochi, and Abu Dhabi.

Carlos Sainz grabbed his first pole position at the British GP in 2o22. It was his 150th race start, and he managed to convert his pole position into his maiden Formula 1 race victory. Sainz finished 4th in the Spanish GP, which is his best finish in his home Grand Prix. The 2022 season witnessed Sainz finishing on the podium 9 times, which is his career-best for a season. He finished the season in 5th place in the Drivers' Championship with 246 points.

In a season dominated by Max Verstappen and Red Bull, Carlos Sainz was the sole other race winner in the 2023 season. Verstappen and Perez won 21 won of the 22 races, with Sainz's win coming at the Singapore GP. During the first free practice session of the inaugural Las Vegas GP, Sainz hit a loose manhole cover causing damage to his car. Subsequently, he was handed a 10-place grid penalty as Ferrari had to change the damaged components of his car. He finished the season with 200 points, 6 points behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, and 7th in the Drivers' Championship.
