Carlos Sainz, the Ferrari driver, has downplayed his snappy radio messages during the Monaco Grand Prix, attributing them to the heat of the moment and the intense nature of the race.
Throughout the race, Sainz was given conflicting instructions regarding his pit stops as the team sought to undercut Esteban Ocon and secure the final podium position. Starting on hard tires, Sainz was aiming to run deep into the race. However, when Lewis Hamilton pitted on lap 32, Sainz was also called into the pits to cover Hamilton’s progress, prompting a frustrated response from the Spaniard, who emphasized his focus on Ocon by saying, “I don’t care about Hamilton!”
