This dropped him to the back of the pack, while his pain was then increased through a 10-second penalty for being &#8220;wholly&#8221; at fault for the collision.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/xpb_1430050_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Carlos Sainz apologised after a collision with Albon at the Dutch GP<\/div>\n<div class=\"source\"> \u00a9\u00a0XPB Images<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It was a fair penalty,&#8221; conceded Sainz. &#8220;It was a bit of a surprise when I went to defend.

Maybe not with this pace, but I think we boxed too early. We came out behind a group of seven or eight cars. I need to understand why we boxed so early, because we genuinely had a chance to score points today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the incident with Sainz, he added: &#8220;It&#8217;s not a Verstappen and Ricciardo, it&#8217;s less serious than that.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It was simply on him. I saw him lock up, so I immediately tried to follow him in a straight line.

Maybe not with this pace, but I think we boxed too early. We came out behind a group of seven or eight cars.

I saw him lock up, so I immediately tried to follow him in a straight line.
