Comments made by Red Bull chief Christian Horner about Ferrari star Carlos Sainz after the Italian Grand Prix were \u2018not cool\u2019, Sky Sports reporter Ted Kravitz insists. Horner appeared to take aim at Sainz over two battles with Red Bull\u2019s drivers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Spaniard first attempted to defend against Max Verstappen and then Sergio Perez at Monza. He ultimately failed in both of those duels, with Red Bull recording their sixth one-two of the season as Verstappen finished victorious once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Horner still appeared to be unhappy with Sainz\u2019s approach, though, claiming the Ferrari ace was \u2018very robust\u2019 and at times \u2018a little late\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Bull team principal said afterwards: \u201cThere were a few comments raised. Carlos was very robust, he was a little late at times, he moved a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut,\u201d he added. \u201cHe\u2019s driving a Ferrari, at Monza, he\u2019s going to defend for his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The journalist pointed out that it was Sainz\u2019s job to defend against Verstappen and Perez.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI thought that comment from Christian Horner when he said Sainz was defending as if his life depended on it\u2026 if Horner meant that in a sort of antsy way, well that\u2019s not cool,\u201d Kravitz said, speaking on\u00a0Ted\u2019s Notebook.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBecause you know what? His life did depend on it, Carlos Sainz\u2019s life did depend on it.<\/p>\n \u201cHe had absolutely every right to defend from Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and everybody else who passed him or tried to pass him today as if his life depended on it because that\u2019s what they\u2019re paid for.\u201d<\/p>\n Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The Dutchman has now won an astounding 10 Grands Prix in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n Horner believes the 25-year-old is unbeatable in the Red Bull car. The drivers\u2019 champion-elect continues to smash several Formula One records.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMax, what he\u2019s doing, he\u2019s breaking records, he\u2019s driving at an unbelievable level,\u201d Horner said. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anybody in the world right now that could beat Max Verstappen in this car, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
