Hindsight is 20/20, but if Red Bull had pit him for mediums in the first safety car he would have won the race

By crashing? Is that in his job description?

It was a shame indeed, but he got way too greedy hitting the wall which unsettled the car.

Merc made the wrong call, if GR didn't crash he would've finished 3rd, when he was already running 2nd. They should have only pitted Hamilton and they would have had a better chance at the win.
It was a great bit of awareness and saved his win, in all likelihood.BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑17 Sep 2023, 15:58I'm actually still in awe of that Sainz performance. That is one of the, if no the greatest drive in F1. Led every lap and managed the race as perfectly as you can
