Mattia Binotto can't get over the fact that no one is talking about the unsafe release of Max Verstappen during his pit stop under the safety car in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Binotto critical
"I'm sorry, but if Carlos doesn't slow down, he lands on Max. I don't know how they didn't penalise him," Binotto reported to Autosprint. The Ferrari team boss has further criticism of the stewards in Jeddah."Sainz didn't get his position back immediately after he was blocked on re-entering the track. It was that he [Perez] just gave his position back. If Sainz had immediately returned to P3, he could have tried to attack Verstappen."
Although the Italian top man knows how to put things into perspective, it still doesn't sit right with him. "These are all pieces that can ultimately decide the race. That said, it was a spectacular race. Everyone drove very well and we managed to score 78 points out of 88."
Charles Leclerc leads the World Drivers' Championship with 45 points after a first and second-place finish. Sainz managed to score 33 in two weekends. Behind him, Verstappen follows with 25 points. Among the constructors, Ferrari is on 78 points and Mercedes on 38 points. Red Bull has to do it with one point less than the German formation.
