C♚arlos Sainz has added further detail to what hapജpened in the F1 drivers’ briefing in Mexico which was described as “lively”.

The traditional Friday get-together on a grand prix weekend was reportedly dominated by discussion about the clash in Tex🍌as between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, and how the rules are interpreted.

“There were direct exchanges between Lando Noꦦrris and Max Verstappen about defending and overtaking,” Sky Sports’ Craig Slater reported.

Some drivers felt the🌱 FIA’s willingness to re-word the regulations was an “admission of guilt”, it was repo🌠rted.

However, Ferrari driver Sainz - who would later win the ꧅Mexico City Grand Prix - has added another perspective to what went on.

“I think 🌟it was a positive, productive meetin🌊g,” Sainz claimed.

“I think a♊ lot of drivers🐲 opened up about how they felt about each situation and what we think is the best way forward.

“How you interpret the rules and those driving guidelines the stewards are going to apply penalties with…ꦗ they’re still the same coming into this weekend and probably I think they will be applied🍸 in a similar manner.

“But moving forward i🎃t was a productive meeting and I think in Qatar we will have some solutions that will offer better understanding for the driver and better racing in general.

“Hopefully it should be better.”

Verstappen said: “Carlos explained it perfectly.”

Charles Leclerc added his perspective꧒: “I'm not going to go too much into the detail of what's discussed inside𝓰, but we are all willing to improve some of the scenarios we have seen in Austin because I don't think we were all on the same line on that.

“However, the FIA has been very open to dis♋cussion and I think they've admitted that we've got to change a few things.

“🌳Going forward we'll try and help them in order to take better decisions and to🥂 have tracks that maybe don't allow as much controversy as Austin does.

“Because if you've got🍰 a bit of a gravel trap or a kerb in some corners, it will make eveꦐrybody's life easier, but it's the way it is.”
