Sainz appeared to slow down to prepare for his flying lap, letting Oscar Piastri past before he sped up, before losing the rear and making a significant dent in the barriers.
He seemed confused by exactly what happened as he said over the radio: “I don’t know if it was cold tyres, dirty air or I was… big snap.”
As a result, Max Verstappen’s quick lap was deleted after he crossed the line under the yellow flags brought out for Sainz’s crash.
