The F1 Sprint, with no mandatory pit stops, is a flat-out race. Here, even a small mistake can hurt. In a classic example, Haas, who made the wrong tire choice, paid for its mistake. They dropped from P4 to P8, while many teams managed to make their way to the top and past the Haas.

In a similar way, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen were involved in a tussle again. Seems like this won’t be ending anytime soon, and while Max won the sprint, it is always close. After the sprint, Leclerc was asked about his side-by-side start with Max. To this, he replied, “At the start? Were we side by side? I don‘t think we were side by side (laughs).”
You made a tremendous start, just talk us through the braking zone in Turn 2, when you & Max were side by side?
Charles: “At the start? Were we side by side? I don‘t think we were side by side (laughs).”
Max: “I had to use the binoculars!”
