"Others are still a bit blurry t🔯o me, let's put it like that. I think there was an example yesterday with Oscar's overtake."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz believes F1’s racing rules “are still a bit blurry”, citing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s sprint race penalty as being “really harsh”.
The stewards’ decision making has been a hot topic in light of and ’ co𝄹ntroversial Turn 12 incident.
Norris was handed a five-second time peಞnalty for ‘leaving the track an🌱d gaining an advantage’ after he was pushed wide by Verstappen.
The stewards adopted a harsher approach with a number of penalti🐓es handed out in Sunday’🐈s race, including on at the same corner.
Piastri was han♐ded a five-second time pen🌸alty for the sprint race after he was deemed to have forced Alpine’s Pierre Gasly off the track.
Speaking in the FIA press conference after their 1-2 finish at the Circuit of the Americas, Sainz and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc were asked if the racing rules were clear or not.
Sainz commented: “I think some thin♐gs are. Others are still a bit blurry to me, let's put it like that. I think there was an example yesterday with Osꦇcar's overtake.
“That for me was completely fine and very similar to anything that we've done between each other on the sprint.🥀 And I felt like the penalty on Oscar yesterday was really, really harsh and didn't go along with some guidelines𒐪 that I thought were the way they were.
“So yeah, that penalty♈ surprised me yesterday. About today, I have no clue because I haven't seen, I haven't gone five seconds by five seconds penalty to see. So let's see.”
Leclerc admitted it will be a likely topic in the next drivers’ briefing i♒n Mexico.
“Yeah, I agree with Carlos on Oscar's penalty yesterday,” he add🐠ed. “I also thought it was a bit too harsh.
“However, on the rules, I think they are clear. Sometimes the interp🅺retation of the rule can be a little bit different because it will be impossible to have a rule book that takes every sing𓄧le scenario.
“Every scenario is different, has its particularity, and you've got to analyse it in a different way and interpret the rules in some ways for particular scenarios, which is what the FIA is ꧟trying to do best.
“However, sometimes we disagree, and I think on the one of yesterday, it♛'s something that we'll probab♓ly talk of in the next driver briefing.”
