Carlos Sainz: 'It's obviously not the first ding dong and it will not be the last...'
Carlos Sainz says his “ding dong” with team-mate Charles Leclerc at the Spanish Grand Prix “will not be the last” flashpoint between the Ferrari drivers during the F1 2024 season.
Tensions were still high after the race as Leclerc claimed the Ferrari drivers had been instructed to “manage the tyres as much as possible” at that stage of the grand prix, with Sainz accusing his team-mate of complaining too much.Speaking to media including PlanetF1.com ahead of this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, Sainz claimed that such flashpoints are inevitable between “two competitive guys”, claiming his relationship with Leclerc remains good.
“And with two competitive guys like him and me that, luckily for the team, are sharing the same piece of asphalt at every race, there’s always going to be little ding dongs. “We’ve always solved these little ding dongs by ourselves, without the help of the team principals, always discussing them among each other.“This is probably the biggest mistake, but apart from that we’re doing the best we can.”
