Lawson: I don't understand why Sainz got so upset
Carlos Sainz was unhappy with the decision of the stewards at the Dutch Grand Prix, who penalised him for an unsuccessful attempt to attack Liam Lawson. Besides the stewards, Carlos also took aim at the Racing Bulls driver. In Monza Liam responded to the Spaniard's words.
Liam Lawson: "I don't know why he considered my actions aggressive at the moment when he was overtaking me. I was just defending. If the collision had been my fault, I would have received a penalty, so for me everything is perfectly clear.
I have no problem with him. But he attacked on the restart on cold Hard tyres into a difficult corner. He tried to overtake around the outside, but couldn't get the position on the track required for that. And after that they call me aggressive! I don't understand that.
Carlos's actions ruined my race. Potentially our team could have had both cars finish in the top five, but I didn't start shouting about that over the radio or in the press. Considering all this, I don't understand his actions and why he got so upset.
I could understand his frustration if I had overtaken him, but it was he who was overtaking and got penalised for his actions."
Liam Lawson added that he hadn't spoken to Sainz after the race: "I didn't hear anything from him. I thought that since he was so upset he would want to talk about it, but no. He didn't come over to talk to me."
