Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz admits he did not enjoy feeling "against" Red Bull bosses Christian Horner and Helmut Marko over the recent scrutiny regarding his Formula One future.
There was confusion surrounding the Spaniard's future during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, when he suggested he would not be staying at Toro Rosso for a fourth successive season. That prompted an angry response from the Red Bull camp, with Marko warning Sainz not to "bite the hand that feeds you".
Horner also chipped in, claiming Sainz's comments were "disingenuous", while confirming Red Bull had taken up the option in his contract to keep him at the Faenza-based outfit.
