Nico Hulkenberg says Carlos Sainz is not to blame for a first lap incident that saw the German crash out of the Singapore Grand Prix.The Force India driver rocketed off the line but quickly began chasing a gap that was disappearing before the Toro Rosso of Sainz made contact. Hulkenberg believes a poor getaway from Red Bulls Max Verstappen combined with his lightning start was the cause of the retirement.I had a really good start, the best of the season, but to some extent I am paying the price for that because of the contact that sent me into the wall, Hulkenberg said. I think Carlos didnt go for any gap because his start wasnt that great but he had to turn around Max which I think had a pretty poor start and probably that caused the carnage.It is definitely not an intention for him. I guess thats racing and the dynamics of the start - nothing that I have done wrong.Its quite frustrating when you come here and put in all of the hard work over the weekend, do everything right and then something like this happens its just very disappointing. But thats racing, I guess.Hulkenberg has now failed to see the chequered flag in the last two races in Singapore. Yeezy 350 Baratas España .
