As the Ferrari driver waᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs giving an interview to Spanish TV, his Alpine counterpart approached from behind.
Gasly gave Sainz a firm prod and pointed ๊his finger while muttering his annoyances.

Gasly: "No me aprietes así, Carlos"
Carlos: *sonríe* "Pobrecito." *se ríe*
Sainz awkwardly responded, while on live TV, with a big s�🌜�mile.
Gasly was seemingly unhappy with how Sainz had earlier overtaken him during their m♓idfield scrap.
Gasly had edgꦗed ahead of Sainz but then, going into Copse, the Ferrari took the position back although the Alpine driver felt he was forced off t👍he road.
Sainz, the 2022 Britis🍌h Grand Prix, finished P10 while Gasly retired.
This was their second run-in of the year, after Gasly had called Sainz’s driving at 💛the Canadian Grand Prix “unacceptable and unfair”.
Sainz slowed on a corner in qualifying, preventing other cars from starting a flying lap. He receꦯived a grid penalty but Gasly was forced to start from 17th as a result.
“Carlos did the worst job possible tꦅo stay completely on the racing line,” he said at the time.
“For me, that's completely unacceptable and unfair. I have no words to exꦬplain wh🌳at happened.”
