No frustration from Sainz over Albon team order incident

Carlos Sainz insists that there is no frustration on his side after Alex Albon beat him in the Miami Grand Prix, despite a team order to occupy the position.

Albon started in front of Sainz, but left behind his teammate at the beginning of the race, re -adjusting to Spanish in curve 11 and then finished an impressive fifth. The Williams was fast during the race, but Sainz was struggling with floor damage and ended ninth, but does not believe that the moment with Albon was particularly significant.

“First, because some operational errors, the weekend doors, we were forced to start with a tire used by the qualification while everyone around me were in a new lapstststststasttitusstststststastststststostus [stint] In new versus used, “Sainz said.” And from there, obviously, I tried everything to maintain the first period.

“I received damage at the beginning with Alex. Then he made a mistake. I managed to pass it, then they told us that we were going to freeze positions. Then, I do not know that he received the message or not, but, basic, he surpassed.

“From there, in that first period, I just tried to do everything possible to keep in touch with that group, holding Charles [Leclerc] Behind with a used tire and a damaged car.

“I think I was the first of those chopped, the VSC came out, so it was a free stop for all of them, or a child or a short stop for all of them, compared to me, which obviously pressed myself after the VSC.

“I had some pleasant battles with the Ferraris. But with the damage in the car could be close to sector 1 with all aerodynamic load and could overcome them in battles. But in the hard, the pecyy.”

Albon declared that he was given a message ratio with the engine temperatures, which could mean that he needed to maintain the position, just since he was aligning the pass in Sainz, and Ferrari’s former driver was calm about discussing the incident after the race.

“No. [frustration]For me, it is obviously, if they tell me on the radio that I am not going to be attacked and that we are going to join together, be overcome, always, as a driver, you feel stupid, because you feel without power without power.

“In the same way as I play the good boy in Jeddah and you overcome and you look completely stupid, but it is so. We will talk about that. I am sure we will go better as a team, and we will continue.”

There was also contact with Lewis Hamilton when Sainz tried to overcome Ferrari in the last return of the race, but after the butlers noticed the movement, no additional action was tasks, and Sainz was again philosophical about the decision.

“The last lap, obviously I did it when I saw a gap and I did. I think it reacted a little to my movement, caught it a little by surprise and began to move to the left duration, which is if you apply Cante Thatte -do Thatte do Thatte do Thatte do Thatte do Thatte Doet Lap, the last corner, obviously everyone will all be a bit in the limit.” “
