It's not just his(Sainz's) driving that you said "glimpes of master driving like today." He used Lando by keeping him within DRS range to use Lando as a bufffer for the Mercedes Benz duo. This can only be done at this specific track knowing full well that Lando cannot pass Sainz. That's tactful for the last remaining few laps. Ferrari pitwall didn't tell him to do that. He did it and worked well for him. Job well done.
