Sainz frustrated to miss out on Austrian GP podium after ‘playing the team game’ (www.formula1.com)

I don't blame Sainz for being frustrated. Honestly I think he had a more impressive race than Leclerc--staying right on him in the first part of the race, making up lot of the time lost to the team's two terrible pit stops, and the incredible battle with Perez.

But at the end of the day he was out qualified by Charles, and Ferrari can't afford to lose out on any points.

I agree, he keeps getting better and better

Leclerc has a massive aura that will take some time to fade if he keeps on making mistakes and having off weekends. Hopefully Sainz can just keep on showing his quality. I honestly think Leclerc has a higher ceiling than Sainz, but Sainz seems to be able to perform closer to his best at more races than Leclerc.
