Ferrari Defends Team Orders Decision Despite Carlos Sainz’s Frustration

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has defended the team’s decision to implement team orders during the Austrian Grand Prix, despite Carlos Sainz expressing his dissatisfaction with the outcome.

Ferrari had a strong weekend at the Red Bull Ring, with both Sainz and his teammate Charles Leclerc qualifying in the top three. Sainz initially appeared to have better pace than Leclerc, but his requests to swap positions with his teammate were rejected by the Ferrari pit wall.
