    Sailed by.

    Norris at least tiny closure of the gap and gets fastest lap.

    Shocked they didn't take the opportunity to red flag that for one lap of chaos.

    Sad for Perez since that was probably his best race for Red Bull until that, but it looked to me like he drifted into Sainz.

    Norris gains but it's not enough, just the three points when he needed to average 7. 60 points in 7 races is now the ask.

    Moving back away from the wall toward the racing line (as Charles does if you watch the onboard, and all the cars do) as anyone behind him with a brain would realise he would.

    You do say a lot that turns out wrong, don’t you? Though you do it with a lot of confidence, so fair play I guess.

    I was thinking that Carlos was moving back onto the track as he had 2 wheels over the white line. Perez should have left him space but in the split second not surprising it ended in the wall.

    Not when there is someone on your inside you don't. Personally I think it's 50/50, both were chasing that extra bit of slipstream from LeClerc and could've positioned their cars to give the other a bit more room, but it's the end of the race and they're racing for a podium place.

    Yeah, not wholly Perez’s fault for sure, but he could have been a bit brighter about it.

    Watch the replay, Sainz was already away from the white line and still kept moving left and hit Perez. Only person to blame for that is Sainz
