Carlos Sainz surprised that media only covered portion where he said ‘he doesn’t care’ and not ‘I am sorry for Oscar’ aftermath F1 Hungarian GP run-in.It is no surprise that Williams’ Sainz has expressed surprise over media publishing news aftermath a grand prix. Pre-summer break, the Spaniard had a tangle with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri due to blue flag system failure at Hungaroring, which affected the whole field.What happened in Hungary between Sainz and PiastriSainz was fighting Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, when Piastri arrived at the scene. The Australian wanted an easy way through but with no blue flag around, he was forced onto the grass. Post-race, the Spaniard shrugged off the incident as no big deal, but did apologise to the Australian.Piastri was not happy, but understood the blue flag system failure. The two exchanged messages in the summer break to clear things out. Sainz was left surprised by how media portrayed the aftermath of the incident, especially in conveying what he said, interpreting it wrongly.He highlighted how difficult it is for a F1 driver after a session, especially a race, when they have to speak to several media answering the same thing again and again. By the end of it, they are tired answering the same answers and sometime it comes out in a different way they intended.Sainz explains his bit, surprised by media interpretation“I was surprised that the only media that came out of me was no apology when I actually, in every TV I went to, I said, ‘I’m sorry for Oscar, that shouldn’t have happened’,” said Sainz to media in F1 Dutch GP. “But then I had my reasons to why that happened, and anything that came out on the media was the reasons of why that happened, something like an excuse, which there were some valid excuses out there on why everything happened how it happened.“But, yeah, for whatever reason, it came out as ‘I didn’t care about doing that to Oscar’. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is. Sometimes we do so many TV pens here that having to repeat one and again and again…you need to think we’re doing 13 TVs, two questions each. By the 11th one, we’re saying, ‘Yeah, sorry to Oscar, like this shouldn’t have happened, but this happened because of that.’ So you are a bit tired of repeating yourself, and then maybe they get the part where you’re a bit more tired,” summed up Sainz.
