Carlos Sainz calls out Charles Leclerc for ‘complaining too many times after a race’

Carlos Sainz has said Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc has complained “too many times” after a race, after the pair made contact during the Spanish Grand Prix.

A move to soft tyres late on saw Leclerc eventually finish ahead of Sainz, who ended the race on the less-preferred hard tyres, but he believes the earlier contact caused damage that hindered him from catching the ailing George Russell late on, who was also lacking pace on hard rubber. “We know how much Turn 14 is important to do that, so I did, but apparently Carlos wasn’t in the last corner and took that opportunity to overtake, which is a shame because that put us on the back foot and it damaged my front wing for the rest of the race.

“We will have a discussion inside the team and I’m sure that it will be fine from the next race onwards.”ended up crossing the line ahead in the end after his strategy did not work out for him, quipping that it’s not the first time the Monégasque driver has found an area he is not happy with after the chequered flag.“I think obviously he might think that…honestly, at this point of this season, I don’t know.
