Early in the race, Sainz, who was already in a strong position, wasn’t allowed to switch places with Leclerc. Later, the Spanish driver received a 10-second penalty for violating track regulations. And during the closing stages, Sainz battled Sergio Perez for more than 3 laps, enabling Charles Leclerc to get a comfortable lead over the Mexican. Soon after the race, Charles Leclerc was seen praising his partner, as in a viral tweet, the Monegasque was found stating, “Carlos did a great job. I was aware Checo was coming, so I was trying to manage the hards. But Carlos made my life easier by doing a great defense. I could see it all on the screen which was quite exciting.”
