Too many losses for a coach accustomed to winning. United manager has lost 14 of their last 32 games as coach, ie 40 percent of the games.

I can not even be critical of them , "said the coach on TV BT Sports.

We need to work on and improve, but I said that the performance of the referee and the linesman is not under my control. Here I can not do anything to improve it "said the former coach of Real Madrid .

"What happened is that after the first stop I got into traffic and then had a breakdown that made me go with 600 horses, so you can imagine the frustration is that everything fails the day you have to get everything right" he added.

"So I could not overtake and could not defend myself. A two-hour race with 650 hp that has the engine without the battery makes you lose much back," Sainz said that, however, said that "even with the car broken could have finished in the points. "
