Carlos Sainz has added further detail to what happened in the F1 driversꦗ’ briefing in Mexico which was described as “lively”.

The traditional Friday get-together on a grand prix week𝓰end was reportedly dominated by discus🌸sion about the clash in Texas between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, and how the rules are interpreted.

“There were direct exchange𝐆s between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen about defending and overtaking,” Sky 🦹Sports’ Craig Slater reported.

Some drivers felt the FIA’s willingnes🧸s to re-word the regulations was an “admission of guiltꦓ”, it was reported.

However, Ferrari driver Sainz - w🅠ho would later win the Mexico City Grand Prix - ha🐎s added another perspective to what went on.

“I think it w💫as a ﷽positive, productive meeting,” Sainz claimed.

🅰“I think a lot of drivers opened up about how they felt about each situation and what we think is the best way forward.

“How you interpret the rules and those driving guidelines the stewards ജare going to apply penalties with… they’re still the same coming into this weekend and probably I think they will be applied in a similar manner.

“But moving forward it was a productive meeting and I think in Qatar we will have some solutions that will offer better understan🍎ding for the driver and better racing in g💯eneral.

“Hopefully it should be better.”

Verstappen said: “Carlos explained it perfectly.”

Charles Leclerc added his perspective: “I'm not going to go too mu✱ch into the detail of what's discussed inside, but we are all willing to improve some of t💎he scenarios we have seen in Austin because I don't think we were all on the same line on that.

“However, the FIA has been very open to discussion and I think they've admitted tha𓃲t we've got to change a few things.

“Going forward we'll try and help them in oꦑrder to take better decisions and to have tracks that maybe don't allow as much controversy as Austin does.

“Because if you've got a bit of a gravel trap or ꦑa kerb in some corners, it will 🔥make everybody's life easier, but it's the way it is.”
