Carlos Sainz admits he bumped into Oscar Piastri at the Hungarian GP after his blue light system—designed to warn of incoming lappers—failed due to earlier communication glitches. Focused on battling Fernando Alonso, Sainz didn’t see Piastri in his blind spot and called it a racing incident, offering his apologies. Though he accepted a five-second penalty and an 18th-place finish, he felt the punishment was harsh given the circumstances and blamed his struggles with pace for being lapped so often. He’s now hoping for better luck and, crucially, more speed in upcoming races to avoid such chaos.
