Wasnt anywhere near close to 3 corners. 1 yes. 3 no chance.

Charles only got close to him on the left hander before the contact.
4,5 guaranteed depends if you count that kink, the track does.
Im still going to maintain that Lec only really got close to Lando on the braking into turn 5. Through 4 Lando was accelerating pretty well and the closing gap was only very small. Not a hinderance at all.

Heres Charles' onboard. He's most definitely NOT troubled before he gets to turn 4. Then Lando gives it some throttle, before braking and slowing a lot more into the left of turn 5. The only impeding was at turn 5, nowhere else, definitely not 3 corners like some claim on the discord.

Lando slowing up aggressively, hugging the line then accelerating and sliding to the right. No way this is all on Charles.

The twitter account name says it all. Charles was 2-3 cars left of the racing line.

Only reason he was doing that was because he was annoyed he got impeded by lando in turn 5. So decided to do the same as Lance did to Lewis and say. " look mate, im here, im moving over to make you aware of my presence"

A deliberate side-swipe (resulting in contact) got Seb a 10s stop and go in Baku during an actual race. I'd be amazed if anyone got more than a reprimand and a couple of naughty points on their tickets for FP3 silliness.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Not saying he wasn't annoyed, but you can’t say there was nothing to Lando driving slow on the apex, then also turning into Charles. The twitter account means nothing. Its an unedited video of the actual incident. All I'm saying is Lando isn’t so innocent here

The account seems to solely put it on Lando with the comment "Nice Lando🤷‍♂️"

See my previous video of Charles previous hot lap and you will see just how far Lando is out of the way of Charles racing line when Charles come across to show Lando he was there.

VET went straight for a shoulder charge on that one. His wheel really turned into HAM on a short straight.

Ultimately I agree that it should be reprimand for both for being not smart, either of them.

Well, I didn't read comments and don't care about them. Looking purely at the video, and incident. It seems Lando turns (unnecessarily) outward into Leclerc. I think the touch could have ben avoided by BOTH. Not ONLY Charles.

Isn't F1 easy flat there so it should not be an issue

I wonder what sort of fuel load did George carry. Seems like a last stint fuel load or somewhere in between last and mid stint. Can't be race fuel load for sure. Temperatures are expected to be far cooler for tomorrow. So anyone that struggled with deg, should find it easy tomorrow.

Stroll reprimand For erratic driving

Given this also had contact and for similar reasons we should expect a reprimand for Leclerc as well? That is clearly how they view this issue

Deliberate bumpercars are only punished by reprimand as long as it's not dangerous, meaning anything goes at low speed.
