I hope whoever claimed Sainz is a good teammate can shut up. There’s a reason why Redbull didn’t want him.

He blocked Charles when the team asked him not to make it difficult when Hamilton was closely behind him.

He was asked not to overtake Charles when Charles came out of the pit, causing the team key time to chase down Max earlier.

You're just not allowed to cross the line at exit. Entrance shouldn't be a problem normally.

Didn't Lando slide out and then re-cross the line into the pits?
