"I think today, everyone was racing very hard,” 🌜Sainz said.

“First Checo at the start, like they sa🎉id in the old days with Seb [Vettel], 'he came like a torpedo' and nearly took us all with him and lost me two positions.

"From then on, I was very quick. I sa✱ved my tyres and didn't catch the Safety Car for one lap, which could have given us 𝓀the win.

"Then frustrated with Oscarꦓ, because he clearly pushed us off track and cost us to lose time with Charles aꦦnd Max.

"I saw the stewards were not being verꦓy aggre🐟ssive today with penalties, so I had to be aggressive to send it."

Leclerc felt Perez was “way too o𒈔ptimistic” in his attempts to make up early ground.

“After the first lap I couldn’t bel🐟ieve I was🤪 still in the race because of what happened in the first corner,” he said.

“I think Checo was way too optimistic. It was veওry, very tricky.

“After that we just didn’t have the pace. McLaren was unbelievably quick 💙today. Lando was really impressive.

“We expected them to be strong, we expected Lando to be strong. The w💫eird thing was that in SQ2 Lando did a lap and I was like ‘ok, they are in🐭credibly quick’ and then we never really saw that performance again.

“We weren’t sureꦍ if it was one special lap or not but in the race they confirmed that they were very, very strong.

“Lando did an amazing job. I’m obviously really happy for him. It’s always a special moment, the first victory, and he deserves it. So it’s great se𝐆ei✃ng him achieve his first win.”
