Gasly: "No me aprietes así, Carlos"
Carlos: *sonríe* "Pobrecito." *se ríe*
Sainz awkwardly r𒅌esponded, while on live TV, with a big smile.
Gasly was seemingly unhappy with how Sainz had earlier overtake☂n him during their midfiel🍷d scrap.
Gasly had edged ahead of Sainz but then, goiꦓng into Copse, the Ferrari took t෴he position back although the Alpine driver felt he was forced off the road.
Sainz, the 2022 British Grand Prix, finished P1ಌ0 while Gasꦜly retired.
This was their second run-in of the year, after Gasly had called Sainz’s driving at t⛦he Ca🍸nadian Grand Prix “unacceptable and unfair”.
Sainz slowed on a corner in qualifying, preventing other cars from starting a flying lap. He received a grid penalty but G𓆏asly was forced to start fr꧒om 17th as a result.
“Carlos did the worst job possible to stay completelℱy on the racing line,” he said at the time.
“For me, that's completely unacceptable and unfair. I have no words to explain what happe🍒ned.”
