After the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc expressed frustration on team radio for being too respectful towards Carlos Sainz, leading to a podium miss due to a strategy misstep. Sainz was initially ahead of Leclerc before pit stops, but a series of events resulted in Leclerc regaining the position only to lose it again later through an undercut. Feeling misled about team instructions, Leclerc vented his anger over the radio about the consequences of being too nice in racing. While reflecting on the situation, Sainz pointed out Ferrari’s mishandling of the pit stop phase that cost him crucial time and forced him to yield his position to Leclerc. Despite finishing on the podium, both drivers expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s performance during the race.
