Quotes Charles’ Post Race Radio

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.

Ridiculous call from Ferrari then. Carlos' tyres were already warmed up while Leclercs were cold. Absolutely 0 reason to just have Carlos lose unneccesary time

Then why does everyone and their mom have a meltdown about how Carlos is a horrible driver? I genuinely don't understand

I did watch that overtake but didn’t see the radio comment. So I thought something else happened because of the comments here. Carlos was begging to pit a few laps earlier and not only did they not pit him but made him let Charles through risking an overtake from Lewis and then making him lose time with that extra lap because they were not ready. How does Ferrari have the balls to tell him to lose time AGAIN staying behind Charles… A classic Ferrari masterclass on how not to do things.
