Sainz frustrated after ‘playing the team game’ in Austria
www.formula1.com
Carlos Sainz has admitted to being left with a “sour feeling” after the Austrian Grand Prix, with the Ferrari driver’s promising race at the Red Bull Ring ultimately yielding only a fourth-place finish.

I don’t blame Sainz for being frustrated. Honestly I think he had a more impressive race than Leclerc–staying right on him in the first part of the race, making up lot of the time lost to the team’s two terrible pit stops, and the incredible battle with Perez.

But at the end of the day he was out qualified by Charles, and Ferrari can’t afford to lose out on any points.

    Ferrari should have switched him & leclerc at lap 8/9 Would have been a double podium for sure

      I think it would have helped their chances, but with that terrible pit stop it still would have been tough. If they could have had a typical stop, or even avoid the double stack, I think odds would have been in their favor for a double podium for sure.
