Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz and Alpine driver Esteban Ocon expressed their disappointment that the International Automobile Federation (FIA) ignored their worries with regard to the safety of the Miami Grand Prix racing track.
"I'm sorry to be critical but I told the FIA yesterday that my crash in second gear shouldn’t feel that hard, but today my neck was a bit in pain," Sainz told Sky Sports adding that he suggested a tecpro barrier be put next to the concrete wall where he crashed.
Ocon, who also crashed in the same spot during the last practice before the qualifying race, was unable to compete, due to the damage his car took. "There was a discussion last night. Carlos said the impact was way too big for what it should have been. Today [the impact] felt huge. It’s probably the biggest shunt of my career," stated Ocon adding that "the FIA should push harder for our safety."
