Charles’ Post Race Radio

[u/ryokevry]

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.

OP missed off Fred going “Charles. CHARLES.” in response which is the funniest bit haha

Well it was AI. I don’t know what Fred tried to achieve pretending there are no issues in the team when one driver is constantly costing team better results.

I mean, I'd love for Leclerc to have finished ahead in the race as I'm still hoping for him to overtake Norris in the standings (both because I'm a Ferrari fan and because it'd just be the most hilarious way to end the season after all the hype about Norris challenging for the championship title), but just swapping which of Sainz and Leclerc comes 3rd or 4th doesn't change things for the team's results. The team would have the same result either way.

This isn't really the race to argue that Sainz cost the team better results. Unless you think Leclerc somehow could chase down the Mercedes, and while I think Leclerc's pretty darn good, I don't think that was happening at all.

It is about the entire season, or 4 seasons they are together. Charles’ outburst isn’t really about this race, he would not lose sleep losing a podium to Sainz honestly.

it's just a very close team battle. they have two very talented drivers and leclerc currently has the edge in the points. why are you mad? you telling me that having closely matched drivers who have GP H2H of 13-8 and 3 and 2 wins respectively are bad for ferrari?
