British GP: Romain Grosjean given warning, Carlos Sainz unhappy

Grosjean handed warning by stewards; Sainz: "I think he'll have a look and regret it because it's clearly dangerous and unacceptable."

Carlos Sainz condemned Romain Grosjean's driving as "very dangerous" and "unacceptable" during the British GP - although the Frenchman was only handed a formal warning by race stewards.

After weaving while under attack from Sainz, Grosjean was handed a black-and-white-flag - a final warning - by stewards during the race and he was then summoned to see them afterwards for a similar move on Daniel Ricciardo.

But Grosjean avoided a penalty and was instead given a formal warning after he and Ricciardo agreed that their situation was "manageable" for the Renault driver.

"As long as he's aware that it was close to being a bit on the edge," Ricciardo told Sky Sports F1.

Sainz, however, was far more damning of the Haas driver's defensive moves.

"It was a race of two halves," Sainz, who was running well before a late puncture, said.

"A lot of attack in the first few laps, during the Safety Car period, and having to go through a very dangerous Romain Grosjean."

The Spaniard, who was unfortunate to finish outside the points, added: "I think it's unacceptable. You can clearly see how he was waiting for me to get close to go side by side to give me a shock.

"We're doing 300kp/h, we need to respect each other a bit more because you've seen a couple of accidents today (Kevin Magnussen, Daniil Kvyat) that are huge.

"I think the drivers... we don't realise the speed we're going and when I nearly crashed into Romain because he moved too late. I think he'll have a look at it and regret it because it's clearly dangerous and unacceptable."

The formal warning for Grosjean does not include any driver penalty points. วิเคราะห์บอลวันนี้
