FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX 2024 - Baku....Race........ ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

The stewards have access to steering, throttle, and braking data traces for every lap. They determined it was a racing incident.

 

Yep.

That mistake by sainz costed us badly in the championship, we have a good chance to overtake Red Bull but had to catch Maclaren.

 

Thats about 100$

 

There is no mistake. Sainz follows Leclerc, on the same trajectory as the other laps. He cannot see Perez, who is not at all next to him, but on the other hand Perez clearly sees that he does not have the space to pass Sainz on the left.

 

I watched it several times.... There weren't any erratic jukes made by either, but surely Perez has the better view and could/should have moved over given Carlos was ahead. I don't know, to me crashing the straight is utterly ridiculous. It's sort of like my morning drive and people crash on the Sunshine Skyway bridge. I mean HOW? You're going in a straight line ... the only direction you can go... completely unimpeded. That wreck between them was ridiculous. Clearly Carlos has zero idea what even happened. Sure it's a racing incident... but it was still caused by someone and I think that was Perez. I think at the end of the year while McLaren is celebrating their Constructor's championship, everyone is gong to be quite pissed at RB looking back how Checo single handedly cost them the title.

 

Strangely Perez is always a victim when trying to overtake another car in a close wheel to wheel situation, Monaco this year is another good example I guess..
Truth is he will never let enough space to deal with this kind of situation.
He should have some serious information about Red Bull illegals tricks to retain his seat for next year with a very bad year in 2024( and I don’t even talk about the costly damages occurred by his numerous high speed crashes)

 

Ferrari quickest 4 tenths/lap on medium tyres compared with Mclaren and 2 tenths/lap on hard tyres compared with McLaren again, with Charles blocked behind Piastri for 30 laps..
As I said before not winning this race was a professional mistake for Ferrari.
First time I see Vasseur taking time and choosing carefully his words before answering the French television right after the race..

 

Yep

Sorry Joe but the overtaking car has the responsibility to ensure it's safe ..... look how Oscar does it

 

that mess for Max: getting passed by Lando TWICE and by George!!!! should be enough for him to sign with AM.

 

I guess he is seriously thinking about it.

 

But that wasn’t the scenario. Perez didn’t need to brake. All he needed to do was use some of the space to his left. It’s not like he was squeezed between the wall on his left and Sainz on his right.

 

Sainz’s issue was caused by his overly aggressively attempt to jump LEC on the turn. He then put his car too far right and left the opening for Perez. IMO if he just stayed behind LEC this would have not allowed Perez to get alongside at that point. Sainz would have probably easily passed LEC soon anyway.

Easy for me to say from my couch but that’s how saw it.

I do, or brake, to avoid an accident

But I use the horn and finger

 

Agree with this and even the announcer thought the same. Perez had a better view of the car in front of him and had room to give.

 

Also agree with this. He should have slotted in behind leclerc to defend instead of going for an unlikely pass around leclerc.

 

You're terrible Muriel

 

and all this happened in the blink of an eye............at 130mph
