McLaren has declared that Formula 1 is not a "coalition championship" as RB nicked Lando Norris' fastest lap in the Singapore Grand Prix to help sister team Red Bull.

That's a lot different, Sainz did this not to help McLaren, but simply to keep Hamilton - who had fresh soft tires - far away from him. Helping Lando here was just self interest.

Stopping RIC just to take the fastest lap away from McLaren was very obviously not something in RBs best interest, but a clear shot at helping their mother team Red Bull.
