    Perez was driving a straight line, wasn’t he? Carlos was driving ever so lightly left

      I thought he was drifting slightly right to go towards the racing line. Sainz was drifting more though. Still I think perez was much better placed to prevent that crash

        We’ll see what they say but I guess the low sun could be an explanation

      I would need to watch their cameras at that point to be sure, but from the replay on the fixed camera that’s the impression I got.
