Moreover, he has also indicated that there are no ill feelings between him and Daniel and that he gets along well with the Australian as well.
In 2019, Lando was relatively new to F1 and so was Carlos Sainz, because they both were young, the Brit was able to make an instant bond with the Spaniard and experience a feeling of equality.
However, when Daniel joined the team in 2021, the situation was completely different as while Lando was still new to the sport, he was getting a former eight-time Grand Prix winner as a teammate.
