No 100% perez fault
Sainz jerked his steering.
I thought that, but he didn't. But he was on a very slow trajectory left though.
I need to wait for the replay, but i think i saw he move it a bit. Perez onboard will be even more telling.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

People on reddit apparently going crazy over Oscar’s wing flexing a bit on high speed.

I think all rear wings flex to a certain degree but I am not sure if this is excessive.
They are all whiners that can’t cope with their favourite teams/drivers not winning. Let’s not pay attention to them trying to take away from what excellent work the guys at the team are doing. It’s unfair.

And that was more by luck, and now purely by performance.

Wouldn't the raised leading edge create drag?

At the moment Red Bull seems to be done. Max Verstappen is not able to get to the podium and it's a golden opportunity with 7 races to go to have either of our drivers as champion. Norris though has the most chances as he's closer. With upgrades coming we have the chance to open the distance.

But Perez was in P3 and keeping up with Leclerc and Piastri. If VER had proper setup or the same floor he may have been there fighting for the win. Don't count them out. It almost looks like VER lost confidence in the car.

What are you guys talking about, Perez had more than half track width on the left and yet he decided to move right into Sainz… PIA is the real deal, holy moly Lando will get smoked next year…
Unlikely

He may beat him, but if the car is this good, it will be tight. They are both exceptionally good drivers.

Unless VER has a DNF the WDC isn’t really going to be under threat. Let’s just be pleased with a really really good driver and team performance today. Track isn’t ideally suited yet somehow they made it work. Of all the outcomes, I’ll take a win any day

Yep, tge demise if Red Bull is massively overplayed. You can't watch that race and say Red Bull are shot.
