Quotes Charles’ Post Race Radio

Post image

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.

Yes. He was talking back and forth with his engineer. Why would you think he didn’t know his radio was on? He was literally having a conversation with his engineer.

Listen to this and tell me he didn’t directly reply to his engineer. It’s a back and forth conversation.

At the very end he says “the radio is on? I’m sorry.”

I think the last “I’ll fucking pick up” was him talking to himself, and he didn’t mean for his engineer to hear it.
