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

The traditional Friday get-together on a grand pri😼x weekend was reportedly dominated by discussion about the clash in Texas bet༺ween Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, and how the rules are interpreted.

“There were direct exchanges between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen about defendinওg and overtaking,” Sky Sports’ Craig Slate🌌r reported.

Some drivers felt the FIA’sꩵ willingness to re-word the regulations was an “ꦆadmission of guilt”, it was reported.

However, Ferrari driver Sainz - who would later win the Mexico City Grand Prix ♚- has added another perspective t♚o what went on.

“I think it was a positive, productive meeting,” Sai🥃nz 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 are going to apply penalties wওith… they’re still the same coཧming 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 w🤪e will have some solutions that will offer better understanding for the driver and better racing in general.

“Hopefully it should be better.”

Verstappen said: “Carlos explained it perfectly.”

Charles Leclerc added his perspective: “I'm not going to go too much into the detail of what's dis🔥cussed inside, but we are all willing to improve some of the scenarios we have seen in A♍ustin 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 that we've got to🧜 change a few things.

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

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