Looked like a puncture back left for Sainz?

[โ€“] flabbergast@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This feels like the most likely explanation to me, it looked like SAI got almost sucked into the inside of PER's car...

[โ€“] Jozav@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just had another look at Sergio's on board. He touched the back left of Carloz who was slowly drifting towards him. Could have been avoided by Sergio.

[โ€“] flabbergast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ah thank you, that explains it.

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My guess is Carlos was blinded by the light after the turn and couldn't properly see he was inching to the left.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Perez could have avoided that and got his best result for a long time. Hell he could still have overtaken sainz there if he just moved left slightly

Edit : I guess perez was also slightly blinded by the sun and did not realise he was drifting towards sainz. Unfortunate

It's kind of irresponsible to be racing at that time of day if drivers end up going down a straight blind like that. They should probably move the start to a bit earlier in the day.

Russell said he couldn't see shit going past the accident and they were lucky they both were on the side of the road and hadn't bounced back into the middle.

[โ€“] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

My guess is that both were trying to catch Leclerc's slipstream and were focused on Leclerc and not each other. That said if I had to assign blame I think it's more on Perez than Sainz.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago

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

[โ€“] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But ahead of Perez, who could have adjusted but didn't for some reason

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.
