Frederic Vasseur addresses Charles Leclerc's claim that Carlos Sainz cost him P4 in Barcelona.
Leclerc felt that both drivers should have been saving their tyres - something that was discussed before the race - while Sainz wanted to go on the attack to make the most of the new soft tyre.
After the race, Leclerc fired a dig at Sainz for trying to impress on home soil and given his contract situation, it’s unsurprising that his teammate wanted to make a mark. Sainz hit back by saying that Leclerc tends to complain too much after the latter suggested on team radio that the aforementioned battle cost him crucial lap time to get pastin Barcelona: “I think you can find ten examples of ten circumstances in the race where we missed half a tenth.“And we missed a couple of tenths during two or three laps. Let us discuss and not to draw a conclusion after the first comment of the driver when he jumped out of the car.
“And everybody is bringing parts now, each two or three events. Sometimes you have the list of what we are publishing, but it is just a aero. Don't forget that we are not developing just the aero. “And then sometimes we need also one or two events before to get the best from the package that we have. We have a kind of convergence of performance today over the last 12 months.”Christian Horner: Max Verstappen ‘making a key difference’ for Red Bull
