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.
This happened right after Sainz was mid-action, overtaking Perez during a tough fight. And after a struggle, for some time, a Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull war was a fun watch, and not what we’ve seen for the first time.

The three drivers were all in intense mode. Sainz was already struggling with wanting to pit and Russell also kept complaining later on. The race, which started out rather blandly, suddenly took a turn for the best entertainment.
However, Sainz was definitely not happy after being asked to pit and coming out P9. Whatever happened obviously angered the Twitter world happened and some criticized Ferrari.

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.
