Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has hailed Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso after he finished ahead of him at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Sainz finished fifth in Baku, while Alonso ended up in fourth after dramatically overtaking his rival on lap 46. And Sainz could not help but praise Alonso after the race, admitting: "Fernando got me right, clean, and then defended in a great way."
His comments come after claims the pair had "fallen out", with veteran F1 journalist Peter Windsor stating there was "not a lot of love lost between them" following an incident at the Australian Grand Prix where the pair clashed and Alonso was spun out.
