Carlos Sainz faces tough Ferrari decisions again! This is not the first time that the driver has faced this, given Ferrari strategies continue to falter throughout the season.

Sainz is told to go to for plan D – what was plan B or C? – and he says he wants to pit for fresh tyres to attack Perez late on in the race. But he's told to stay out. Strategy is confusing. #F1

The erratic pit came out of nowhere, and it definitely caused a major issue for Sainz. Initially, the driver asked to pit much earlier but was told to stay out. He wanted fresher tires to attack Perez later, but none of that went down, of course.

After coming out on P9, Sainz was the fastest on the track. He quickly made up four spots, but unfortunately for him, there weren’t enough laps left. The Spaniard had to settle for P5, which will obviously be disappointing.
