Carlos Sainz’s race has been a roller coaster of emotions from the first corner at the start, where the Spaniard managed to get ahead of his teammate, but after a braking pass by Sergio Pérez, he had to avoid contact with the Mexican, falling to 4th position, where he would finally finish the race.
Strong confrontation with Oscar Piastri
In his personal fight to get the podium positions, Oscar Piastri was one of the rivals to beat, and the fight would give a lot of talk. In the Spaniard’s first attempt to overtake, he would end up off the track due to the Australian’s strong defense, an action that Carlos Sainz would not like at all, who expressed his complaints repeatedly on the radio.
The confrontation would end with another aggressive maneuver by Carlos Sainz, who suffered a small injury to the car, which led to a crash between both drivers and the subsequent stop of Oscar Piastri due to damage to the car. An action that is being investigated by the FIA, and about which Carlos Sainz wanted to show his opinion.
“For some reason they have let us fight more than normal, although without giving us as much space. I have taken note and I have started to do the same thing that they were doing to me during the race, I have been more aggressive,” said the Ferrari driver.
“Today there was a great opportunity to make a podium or even win the race with the pace we had. We made a great start but it was Sergio Pérez who arrived and threw us all off the track a little without control,” he continued.
“I don’t think about nationalities, I think more about consistency or inconsistency with the FIA. Today Piastri did something very similar to what Magnussen did yesterday, in which he received many penalties and he did not receive anything,” concluded Carlos Sainz.
