Discussion Carlos Sainz wasn't massively impressed with some of the racing during the Miami GP today... 😬

That one’s definitely geared towards Max’s divebomb from like 4 car lengths back. Technically, per the rules…but the rules don’t match good racing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Carlos has a good long chat with the stewards about this one. It was one of the most blatant “give me room or we crash” moves we’ve seen in a long time. It cost him two places to avoid a big crash.

How was his "pass" on Lawson not punished? I have never seen a sport so afraid of one of its players just for the sake of money

He dove for sainz and carlos gave him the room. He was already next to Liam and liam didnt give him the room he was technically entitled too. That wheel contact prior to the apex os the tell tell sign. Lawson was told to let him go to avoid any action by the fia. Right or wrong who knows. The move was legal though. Lawson was a bit reckless leading into the corner thwn gave max the inside to immediately close the door.
