Both Ferrari drivers were fuming after the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix and demanded private tꦫalks to reso🔥lve their problems.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz finished third in Vegas, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc fourth, despite⛦ both drivers threate𓄧ning at times for P2.

Leclerc was told via team radio that his teammate would not overtake him into P3 - but Sainz th🍌en did so.

“Bei🐼ng nice fucks me o☂ver all the fucking time, all the fucking time,” Leclerc raged on his radio.

Sainz gave his side of the story to Sky Sports: “We were ahead of Lewis Hamilton before that pitstop. For a couple of laps, I was asking to pit. I♎t meant we lost a lot of race time.

“At the same time, there was this situation where I had to let Cꦿharle🔜s by.

“I lost a lot of time there, I’m not going 🧸to lie. And I’m not 🎶happy about it.

“But Me🌳rcedes were simply a quicker car today. One way or another, they would have beaten us today.

“Podium and P4 was the maximum today.

💎“I’m notꦜ happy because of the execution of the race. I think we can do a lot better than that.”

Sainz was quizzed about the furious﷽ radio messages that came out of the Ferrari team in Vegas.

“I don’t like using the radio♏ to complain,” he insisted. “I don’t like using the media꧃ to criticise, demonstrate, or prove if I’m happy or not.

“I prefer to do that behind closed doors. There is never a good outcome fro꧒m these comments in the media.

“But I’m not happy. And I was the first one trying to get out of 💝the way.

“The whole situation was a bit messy…”

A ღvisibly annoyed Leclerc then stood in front of ꦯthe Sky Sports cameras to explain his version of events.

He was asked about his anger on the team radio.

“Just a little bit,” he sarcastically replied.

“It’s okay. Every time there🥃 are these frustrations, there is no background for every💮body.

“There is just no need for me to go into details aboಌut e𒆙verything that is discussed.

“I won’t go further into that discussion.

“Frus🐠trating? Yes. However it doesn’t change anything for the team.

“It’s frustrating for the drivers. Second place is always ༒nice. ♑But at the end of the day, it’s okay.

“I did my part on the first stint. When my tyres were completely gone, I did not want to fight at that p🎃oint. So I let Carlos by.

“The rest? We will discuss it with the team.”

Leclerc was asked if he felt that Ferrari had prꦜiori﷽tised Sainz, but denied that.

“�𓄧�It’s not about favouring one or the other,” Leclerc said.

“It’s about things that we 🔴were told, that were no﷽t respected.

“But it’s all good. I have alre𒁃ady said too much. I don’t want to go into de🍸tails.

“It’s frustrating when it’s like this. It’s frusꦚtratinܫg for me. But I can understand that nobody understands it.”

Max𝓀 Verstappen wrapped up the F1 title in 🧔Las Vegas, while Leclerc is third in the drivers’ standings and Sainz is fifth.

Ferrari are second in the constructors’ champi💞onship behind McLaren with two rounds to go.

But after a productive campaign, the Vegas GP shone a light on issues that perhaps were not ex🥀pected from within the camp.

Sainz has just two races left with Ferrari before he goes to Williams, and Mercedes’ Hamilto♚n arrives alongside Leclerc.
