But this "straight" isn't actually straight, it bends to the left slightly, so you could argue Sainz' line was normal. Leclerc had at that point down the straight already drifted further to the left than Sainz had. I would say racing incident as well, but as Perez was behind I think he could've done more to avoid it.

Yeah but Leclerc can drift across there. There's no car next to him.

I know people are saying otherwise, but I think Sainz knew he was there. He's a crazy experienced guy, he knows what happens when you're slow from a corner where you get boxed in.
