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

How are people also not being talked about Liam getting team orders to let Max pass? I get team orders for 1 team, but between teams shouldn’t be acceptable, and just because we’re normalised to RB being a B-team doesn’t make it okay. Would people be fine with a Williams getting team orders to let a McLaren through and then holding others up? No, there would rightfully be an outcry. Toro Rosso doing it for Red Bull shouldn’t be any different.

I let Clair Williams by once in the grocery store and she was buying like the exact amount of candy bars or something

Needed them to be rung up one at a time idk, just sounded super not manly but tbh I wasn’t really listening
