This isn't complicated. Who was technically ahead is pretty much not relevant in this situation. On a straight, if two cars are side by side, they both need to give each other enough room. Perez had every right to retain his line and keep Sainz on his outside, who absolutely had enough space to keep going straight. But instead, Sainz misjudged things and swerved into Perez. Small margins, but this was Sainz's fault.Andres125sx wrote: ↑16 Sep 2024, 11:32It's the car in front who must give room to the chasing car, not the other way around. Sainz did, actually he left way way more than needed.
How many drivers have squeezed another car almost to the wall in an attempt to avoid being passed? Uncountable! But while there's enough room for a car width, it's ok
Sainz left 2-3 car room. Can't grasp how people can criticize a driver who didn't even squeezed the chasing car, when squeezing the chasing car/bike is a standard in any racing motorsport
And I say that as a Ferrari fan who initially thought it was Perez's fault before seeing Perez's onboard.
