In a weekend filled with turmoil and setbacks, Carlos Sainz faced a whirlwind of challenges at the Japanese Grand Prix. The Williams driver’s quest for a breakthrough performance turned into a nightmare as he grappled with controversies both on and off the track.

Sainz’s troubles began before the race even started, as he received his third summons from the FIA stewards during the eventful weekend. The Spanish driver found himself in hot water for arriving late to the national anthem ceremony, adding to his already complicated situation.

Prior to the race, Sainz had already been handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Lewis Hamilton during qualifying at Suzuka. Additionally, he was fined €1000 for speeding in the pit lane by 13.7km/h, further souring his already difficult weekend.

Starting the Japanese Grand Prix in P15, Sainz struggled to make significant progress and ultimately finished in P14. Meanwhile, his teammate Alex Albon managed to secure two more points, bringing his season total to 18, highlighting the stark contrast in performance within the Williams team.

Sainz’s lone point of the season came in China, courtesy of disqualifications to Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, and Pierre Gasly. With mounting challenges and a string of setbacks, Sainz’s journey at Williams is fraught with obstacles that seem to only be growing with each race.
