A Rare but Relatable Mistake

 

Missing a pit stop is not an unheard-of mistake in Formula 1, though it is rare among experienced drivers. Teams place their garages at different locations in the pit lane based on their standings in the Constructors’ Championship. Ferrari, as a top team, is usually positioned near the front, while teams like Williams are stationed further down the lane.

 

Sainz’s moment of miscalculation is likely due to muscle memory, as many circuits have garages in different spots depending on the event. His mistake, however, didn’t come at a critical moment in the race, meaning Ferrari could quickly recover without any major consequences.
