塞恩斯表示，他与勒克莱尔在法拉利做队友时的轮对轮较量留下的是“美好回忆”，并谈到了他的前F1队友在墨西哥大奖赛与汉密尔顿的争夺。
在罗德里格斯兄弟赛道的首圈比赛中，法拉利车手之间为争夺领先展开了激烈较量，勒克莱尔在开局几个弯角向汉密尔顿发起进攻。这一连串攻防在勒克莱尔于4号弯尝试从队友外侧超车时结束，两位车手都冲出了赛道。
勒克莱尔最终排在汉密尔顿之前，而汉密尔顿还将一个位置丢给了马克斯·维斯塔潘。随后勒克莱尔被罚时五秒，这为红牛车手夺得胜利打开了大门。
汉密尔顿认同一种说法，即勒克莱尔在与他和前法拉利队友对抗时，比与其他对手较量时更拼，但塞恩斯认为这是在一级方程式（F1）中争夺胜利的自然结果。
“说实话，我对与夏尔共事的时光以及我们之间的较量有着相对美好的回忆，”这位西班牙车手在巴西说道。
确实，当你在为胜利而战时，压力总是更大，前方总有更多事情。所以你会自然而然地比在中游为第八或第九名而战时更自私一些。

“所以也许更难完全遵循车队希望你遵循的理想情况，因为前方有胜利在望。”
汉密尔顿周四承认，他仍然对墨西哥发生的事情感到沮丧。回顾自己与勒克莱尔的较量，塞恩斯以蒙扎和拉斯维加斯为例，说明他们在赛道上的激烈争夺，但表示他们会在赛后交谈以解决任何分歧。
“那时候胜利就在眼前。但我觉得我一直尊重查尔斯。他也一直尊重我。我们从未有过接触之类的事情。我们只是有过激烈的争斗。我想你还记得蒙扎、拉斯维加斯。有很多火爆的时刻，”他说。
塞恩斯表示，更大的困难来自法拉利周围的压力，而不是他与勒克莱尔的关系，包括他说自己受到了一些勒克莱尔车迷的辱骂。
“我认为更困难的是车迷群体，更多是公关方面，当时车迷群体真的被点燃了。在查尔斯和我之间非常两极分化。我记得自己有点受到查尔斯那些非常铁杆车迷的困扰，他们辱骂我或诅咒我倒霉。
“也许一些意大利媒体也说，在我需要的时候，我不够像一个二号车手，反过来，每当查尔斯不得不这样做时也是如此。”

“所以更多是围绕法拉利的压力牵涉到法拉利，而不是我与夏尔之间实际存在的问题，那些问题总是在当晚我们以更冷静的头脑互相通话时就解决了。我们总能找到向前推进的解决方案。”
塞恩斯表示，当两位有竞争力的车手争夺胜利时，队友之间的紧张关系不可避免，而且这种情况在一级方程式中并不新鲜。
“这种情况在一级方程式车队中一直存在，”他说。“我不记得有哪支一级方程式车队拥有两位优秀车手在前方争夺却从未在争胜时出现过问题。你可以选择让一位二号车手担任第二车手，也可以选择两位优秀车手，而他们会制造那些问题。但在我看来，你不能只要其一而不要其二，而且你永远不可能只要其一而不要其二。”
“我不知道，也许在法拉利，一切涉及法拉利的事情都会让情况变得有些激化，但我想不起有哪一刻没发生过这种事。梅赛德斯发生过，过去几年迈凯伦发生过，法拉利发生过，2006、2007、2008年迈凯伦也发生过。”
“所以我不知道什么时候没发生过。这是F1的一部分，如果你是车队领队，并且知道自己将拥有两位伟大的车手，你就总会遇到这个问题。我不认为你能让这两个人百分之百地平静下来，还指望他们不为分站冠军发起进攻。”

Carlos Sainz recalls Charles Leclerc battles: “We always managed to find a solution”
The Williams driver reflected on his own battles with Charles Leclerc while discussing the Ferrari driver’s Mexico clash with Lewis Hamilton

Carlos Sainz says he has "good memories" of battling Charles Leclerc at Ferrari while offering his perspective on his former Formula 1 team-mate’s fight with Lewis Hamilton in the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Ferrari drivers had a fierce battle for the lead on the opening lap at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, with Leclerc attacking Hamilton through the opening corners. The sequence ended when Leclerc attempted to pass around the outside of his team-mate at Turn 4, with both drivers running off the track.
Leclerc emerged ahead of Hamilton, who also lost a position to Max Verstappen. The subsequent five-second penalty for the Monegasque opened the door for the Red Bull driver to take victory.
While Hamilton agreed with suggestions that Leclerc races him and former Ferrari team-mates harder than other rivals, Sainz viewed that as a natural consequence of fighting for victory in F1.
"Honestly, I have relatively good memories with my time with Charles and the fights we had," the Spaniard said in Brazil.
"It is true that when you're fighting for wins, there's always more pressure, more things down the line. So you become naturally a bit more selfish than when you are fighting in the midfield for a P8 or a P9.

"So it's more difficult maybe to follow exactly the ideal situation that the team would like you to follow, because there's a win down the line."
Hamilton admitted on Thursday that he was "still frustrated" by what happened in Mexico. Reflecting on his own battles with Leclerc, Sainz cited Monza and Las Vegas as examples of their close on-track battles, but said they would speak afterwards to resolve any disagreement.
"There were wins on the line back then. But I think I always respected Charles. He always respected me. We never had contacts or anything like this. We just had strong fights. I think you remember Monza, Vegas. There were plenty of hot moments," he said.
Sainz said the greater difficulties came from the pressure surrounding Ferrari rather than his relationship with Leclerc, including abuse he said he received from some of Leclerc’s fans.
"I think what was difficult more was the fan base, more the PR and the fan base was really ignited back then. It was very polarised between Charles and me. I remember suffering a bit from the very hardcore fans of Charles, insulting or wishing me bad.
"Maybe some Italian media also saying that I was not being enough of a number two when I needed to be and vice versa whenever Charles had to do it."

"So it's more the pressure surrounding Ferrari that involves Ferrari than the actual issues that I had with Charles, which were always resolved that same night when we called each other in a more cold-head way. We always managed to find a solution on the way forward."
Sainz said tensions between team-mates are inevitable when two competitive drivers are fighting for victories, and that such situations are nothing new in F1.
"It's always been there in Formula 1 teams," he said. "I cannot remember a F1 team that has had two good drivers fighting at the front that haven't had issues when fighting for wins. You can choose whether to have a number two as a second driver or you can have two good drivers that will create those issues. But you cannot have one without the other, in my opinion, and you will never have one without the other."
"I don't know, maybe in Ferrari it gets a bit exacerbated with everything that involves Ferrari, but I cannot remember a moment where this hasn't happened. It happened in Mercedes, it happened in McLaren last few years, it happened in Ferrari, it happened in McLaren in 2006, 2007, 2008.
"So I don't know when it hasn't happened. It is part of Formula 1 and if you are a team principal and you know you are going to have two great drivers, you are always going to have that issue. I don't think you can ever calm those two guys 100% down and expect them not to go for a move for a race win."
