Are many of you just ignoring what the stewards wrote in the decision? Because it looks like it.
Yup, because each of us are giving an opinion after more time particularly to consider the behaviour element.
If the stewards look toward and action their own phrase "causing an avoidable collision" then Sainz did this. He had no reason to move to his left at all.
The comments on here even allow this in saying (and many have claimed this) that Perez SHOULD have avoided that collision ! This even acknowledges in acceptance that the collision was being caused by the other driver, Sainz.
Further, the "following my usual line" statement ftom Sainz has no weight to it. He was aware of Perez having just passed him two corner before, knew the proximity of Perez at corner apex being inside of his own car. Then trrid to intimidate the other driver to back out of it prior to the next corner.
He should receive a penalty for his approach.
