Off the top of my head, Alonso, Ricciardo, Sainz (who said it should end under yellow), and Norris all said they thought it was unusual or not correct.

Danny Ric even asked why he was behind the leaders.

Listened to Alonso and Norris.

Alonso asked and they told him they were waiting on race control. He then expressed frustration saying the call needed to be made sooner when I got the order.

Landos team told him that Alpha Tauri pitted and we’re behind Carlos and he needed to keep them behind while telling him lapped cars couldn’t overtake (not sure if they were told that or assumed because they gave him wrong information.) Later they told him to overtake and he confirmed. (They also said Alonso had DRS and then corrected, so I’m not sure what McLaren was doing.

I’ll listen to more later, but there didn’t seem to be a huge preference in the moment.

Alonso talking to his engineer ask where Max was and when told 2 cars behind you Alonso remarked well he should be two cars ahead of me (right behind Hamilton). He also called the result "a little bit of justice"

quote:
“That was pure luck, we have to be honest about that,” the Alpine driver said to Ziggo Sport. “On the other hand, he was unlucky so often this season, now it’s more balanced. So it’s a little bit of justice.”

That being said I doubt either Fernando or Lewis have Christmas cards in the post to each other.
