Carlos Sainz Jr.: Best Williams finish

Sainz finished eighth in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix F1 race at Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday.

Analysis:

Sainz had his best weekend with Williams and out-qualified Alex Albon for the second consecutive grand prix. However, unlike in Bahrain, when he picked up damage in a squirmish with Yuki Tsunoda, Sainz managed to convert his strong qualifying form into an excellent points haul. He drove a disciplined race and worked with Albon in the final stint to secure a double-points finish for Williams. After a slow start with his new team, Sainz appears to be getting more comfortable heading into the Miami Grand Prix weekend.
