Despite admitting his heavy crash in opening practice for the Japanese Grand Prix was his own fault, Carlos Sainz says he cannot explain why it happened.
The Toro Rosso driver suffered a hefty impact as he speared into the barriers after running wide on the exit of the hairpin during the opening practice session at Suzuka, an incident which brought out the red flags. While Sainz's participation in FP1 was cut-short, Toro Rosso made the most of a rain delay to repair his car in time for him to take part in the closing stages of the wet second session.
