Lewis Hamilton labelled "cheeky" by Carlos Sainz after repeating Max Verstappen move

Carlos Sainz said he had his race compromised by a "cheeky" move from Lewis Hamilton during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The two racers were embroiled in a battle for track position in the early stages of the 2022 season finale. Hamilton had got ahead of the Ferrari driver on the opening lap, but Sainz was clearly not keen on letting him stay there for too long.

The Spaniard tried to move back ahead by launching himself up the inside of the Mercedes going into Turn 6, though the move was a bold one as he was so far behind. The result was a clash with Hamilton, after which the Brit chose to drive off the track and came back onto the circuit ahead of Sainz.
