Carlos Sainz supports FIA in Red Bull ADUO engine rankings dispute

Carlos Sainz has expressed support for the FIA's recent ADUO engine rankings which have left Red Bull dissatisfied. The rankings classify Red Bull as the benchmark, disallowing upgrades as competitors Mercedes, Ferrari, Audi, and Honda qualify for additional development. Sainz argues that this outcome reflects Red Bull's true performance seen during testing and races, emphasizing their superiority in top-speed metrics. The FIA’s assessment, focusing solely on internal combustion engines, has drawn criticism from Red Bull due to perceived disadvantages in the hybrid system. A resolution regarding the contentious rankings is expected around the time of the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix.
