Ricciardo: Sainz “always the culprit” in F1 impeding
After qualifying for the Abu Dhabi GP, Carlos Sainz expressed frustration about traffic and accused other drivers of intentionally creating dirty air to impede their rivals without technically breaking any rules. Daniel Ricciardo, who starts one place ahead of Sainz in the race, suggested that Sainz has a reputation for making things difficult for other drivers. Ricciardo jokingly said he would talk to Sainz and ask him not to upset anyone by pressing too hard on the first turn. He also acknowledged that dirty air has become more of a problem this season and that drivers are aware of the impact it can have on following cars. Ricciardo emphasized that he tries to be considerate of other drivers and avoids causing problems for them, especially during practice sessions where there is nothing at stake.
