Ferrari F1 boss Vasseur believes the FIA stewards were wrong in not speaking to Sainz before handing him a penalty for his clash with Alonso in Australia.
"Frustration is the right word," Vasseur told Motorsport.com when asked about the team's tough weekend.
"And the situation with Carlos is very tough for the team. And the test is tough, because if you consider the race, he had to do an extra pit stop with the safety car at the beginning, and he went through the field."And then we can speak about the incident, if it's a race incident or not. For me, it is the same lap 1 story. But the frustration is probably more the fact that they took the decision in five minutes.
