Not me. I found it pretty ridiculous when the commentators were saying that the team should have told Stroll that Sainz might make a move up the inside - ie the car that was in front of him only seconds earlier!

Classic case of pretending the other guy will magically disappear once you have your front wing ahead. With how late the overtake happened and how far alongside Sainz was, I would have penalized Stroll for not leaving a car's width for Sainz.
