Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson engaged in a heated dispute following a collision at the Dutch Grand Prix, where both suffered punctures after contact at Turn One during a safety car restart.
Sainz, penalized for causing the crash, criticized Lawson’s aggressive driving, claiming the Red Bull driver preferred contact over clean racing.
Lawson, surprised by Sainz’s public comments, wished the Spaniard had discussed the issue privately, arguing that Sainz, as the overtaking car, misjudged the move on cold tires.
The incident ruined both drivers’ chances of scoring points, with Lawson noting his team’s potential top-five finish was lost.
Sainz, still furious, is gathering evidence to challenge the stewards’ decision, calling it a “poor penalty.” The feud continued at Monza, where Lawson expressed confusion over Sainz’s frustration, emphasizing the challenging conditions of the restart.
Williams, Sainz’s team, plans to protest the penalty, seeking a review for what they believe was a misunderstanding.
