Carlos Sainz had to settle for 10th in Monaco but was left unhappy with the tactics used by Racing Bulls.
Carlos Sainz has demanded that Formula 1 investigate the Monaco Grand Prix, alleging that the results could have been “manipulated.” The newly introduced mandatory two-stop rule at the Circuit de Monaco received mixed reactions, with Sainz and others expressing dissatisfaction with certain tactics employed during the race. Sainz specifically highlighted Racing Bulls’ strategy of slowing down Liam Lawson to facilitate Isack Hadjar’s early pit stops and sixth-place finish. This strategy created a significant gap in the field, leading Williams to adopt a similar tactic to secure ninth and 10th place for Alex Albon and Sainz. Sainz called for an examination of the tactics used by teams like Racing Bulls, citing instances where the pace was notably slower than expected during the race. He emphasized the need for F1 to address these issues for the integrity of the sport.
