MELBOURNE (Reuters) - A water bottle malfunction left Renault's Spanish Formula One driver Carlos Sainz feeling sick to the stomach at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. Sainz finished 10th in the season-opener in Melbourne, after starting ninth, and said the problem had made it a difficult afternoon. "I had the drinks bottle pumping water to my mouth since lap one, and unconsciously I was drinking and drinking and drinking," he told Sky Sports television. It's a dribbling drinks tube that ruins your entire race," the former Williams and Mercedes driver told Sky. I wanted to hit something else and I hit the drinks button --in Monaco, in the tunnel," added the German.
