If Leclerc didn’t slam on like a child Lando would have fallen in line behind Leclerc.
Come on, everyone is forgetting Leclerc slammed on, pulled a load of downshifts and swerved left
Slammed? Did tyres smoke and lock up?
Unlike Norris, Leclerc kept the steering angle on the left the whole time. Is Leclerc forbidden from braking and moving out of the racing line after getting impeded through 3 corners? If Norris kept to the left as he initially did, nothing would have happened. That's called erratic driving
I honestly can’t be more disappointed with you here. Your insights technically are amazing and highly appreciated but first coming into the McLaren section to stoke the fire and then literally gaslighting everyone with your “analysis”.
It doesn’t befit you. Please stop
The funny thing is that Lando is actually nowhere near the racing line there. If you want to argue any impediment, then argue about T5 before this. And even then, it was probably a missunderstanding by the pitlane not expecting Leclerc to go for a fast lap again (on used tires) on the last minutes of the session. Lando was instructed by the pitlane to go on a constant speed lap. They only went out for the launch practice. So maybe they got caught quicker than expected.
Either way, in practice you get a reprimand only if you're dangerously blocking someone. And that was hardly a block to begin with, because Leclerc was free to take his line in T5. Dirty air maybe lost him a tenth but he was not forced to brake in the middle of the apex.
But then Leclerc went into a baby rage and just pulled up alongside him (going off the racing line purposefully), just to brake and turn into him.
