VIDEO: Sainz out after McLaren catches fire
Oh no!
Carlos Sainz became the first driver to retire from a race in 2019 as his Australian Grand Prix lasted just 10 laps before his McLaren burst into flames. Having failed to get out of Q1 on Saturday, the DNF compounded a miserable weekend for the Spaniard.
No points for Carlos Sainz on Sunday after this smokey DNF ????
