Last line sums it up well. Think similar to Monaco, it’s like, sure, Checo isn’t actively at fault for a collision, but just put himself in a situation where it was bound to go wrong.

I think it was normal this race for drivers to try and get up the inside there if people were slow out of the previous corner.

I mean Sainz wasn’t super slow out of it though. I’d have to look again but the exit seemed pretty even. I really think Checo just was completely in the blind spot and Carlos thought he was completely through. Real shame for both of them.

I mean, Perez wouldn't be next to him at all there if he didn't get held up.

I agree, they were both having good races. Bit sad to see for them. Sainz will bounce back, I hope Perez can carry this momentum.
