Ferrari driver Sainz and McLaren’s P෴iastri came to blows at the first corner on the opening lap of Sunday’s race at Spa-Francorchamps, with both picking up damage that would ultimately prove race-ending. 

Sainz, who started fourth, looked to attack168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes into Turn 1 but locked up and collided with Piastri, s🙈queezing his rival into further contact with the 🍒inside wall. 

The Spaniard criticised Piastri for “trying to do a bit of an optimistic move” and suggested that a lack of expe𒆙rience was behind the incident.&n🅺bsp;

“I was on the attack with Lewis into▨ Turn 1 and I think I pretty much had the move done and then I received a bit of🌜 contact on my rear-right,” Sainz said.  

“If you want my honest opinion, I think it was a bit of a mistake by Oscar 🌳trying to go through side-by-side into [Turn] 1.

“If you look at the last seven, eight years, everyone who has tried that mov🍃e, it’s never really worked and has generated a bit of a crash when you look at the past races. 

"So yeah, I don’t know if it was a bit of a lack of experience, a bit optimistic, but again a racing incident that ♛cost us a race.” 

Sainz added: “I didn’t miss the apex♕ or anything, I went to attack Lewis and Oscar went to attack Lewis and me which I think in my opinion was a bit optimistic.”

But Piastri had a very differen🎶t🉐 opinion to Sainz, claiming over team radio: “I don’t know what he was doing. I was there and he just turned in like I didn’t exist.”

Speaking to media afterwards, the Australian added: “I had a pretty good launch, I was getting alo෴ngside Carlos and then he kind of jinked to the inside a bit and I obviously had to get out of the brakes to not get hit. 

“My nose was kind of there and at that point, it was too late to try🌌 and back out, so unfortunately I ended up in contact. A shame to end so early."
