Is this real? The lesson learned by these 2 is that they should have attacked Leclerc more?
The lesson is that you 2 are unserious drivers.
Perez's comment is somehow more level-headed:
Sainz's comment annoyed me at first but honestly, I put more blame on the team for his mindset than Sainz himself. Ferrari have made it abundantly clear that they don't care about Leclerc and Sainz fighting and Sainz's priority is allowed to be Sainz, sometimes to the detriment of the team. Sainz doesn't care about protecting a Ferrari 2-3, but Ferrari also doesn't care about Sainz protecting a Ferrari 2-3.“Once we took our helmets off, we realised that we both screwed it up, that finishing a race like that was really disappointing,” Perez said. [...]
“We both ended up with zero points, damaging our teams a lot and it was something we were having a chat, and we were thinking the amount of damage for us, with especially Charles struggling so much, that in the end we should have been on the podium, but we were not. But it is irrelevant now, let’s turn the page.”
Sainz is leaving the team and already has a contract lined up; the reality of the situation is, he really has no reason to help the team out unless they ask. And according to the radio, at least, they didn't (and never) ask.
