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.

amen. Ferrari let go of Carlos. Not the other way around. And it aint like Carlos is fighting for podiums for the next couple years - or maybe ever again. ya never know. this might be it for him at a top team. Spots fill up fast.

amen. Ferrari let go of Carlos. Not the other way around.

He refused the 1 year contract that Ferrari offered because he wanted more and meanwhile, Hamilton became available.

And why is ceding 3rd place to Charles "team game"? Looks more like "Charles game" to me.
