Just watched the Sky Sports analysis on the crash, meh, 50/50.
TBF Sainz is clearly the one who drifts across to regain the racing line albeit not violently, plus he is in front.
Perez holds his line and the inevitable happens.
Seems to me Perez could have drifted but either in that split second didn't have time to (seems to me he could)...or chose to bully Sainz into baling out....and it didn't work.
Racing incident.

As I read the stewards verdict Sainz took his usual line which drifts across to the left. Perez just seemed to fail to notice and failed to alter his course.
Sainz seemed not to know Pezza was there and surprised at what happened.
in terms of the crash, my initial though was the light touch had cut the tyre and that had brought Sainz around so violently.
Perez seemed to have plenty of space to move left into but for reasons unknown didn't, probably trying to keep straight to maximise acceleration traction.
Racing incident with significant consequences sums it up.
Sainz should have known Perez was there Perez should have moved / had options to avoid a collision (and squark about it after). Had Perez got out of it, he'd have finished 4th at worst, as it is he didn't finish.
51:49 blame for me.... one way or the other.

Keep forgetting to post this - a very interesting interview with Adrian Newey recorded the day before he was confirmed at Aston Martin last week (some of this is covered). Also available as an audio podcast if you search for "My Week in Cars" on your podcast provider

A very long interview but probably the best I've seen with Newey

Singapore Gp qualifying highlights was good last night.
No real shocks apart from the one Sainz got

Good action from the Silverstone BTCC meeting today.
Shoutouts have to go to Tingram (BTCC), Dan Zelos (BTCC) and Abbie Eaton (Porsche Cup) for some outstanding performances.

Race was a bit dull though with Norris being his own worst enemy and some poor choices from Mercedes and Ferrari.
Mind you, looks like Max is having a hissy fit at the moment

Was at Sliverstone on Saturday. Not for the motor racing, though, but for cyclo-cross which was taking place immediately south of the circuit. Could hear you lot making a right racket. Hoping our freewheel hubs didn't spoil the fun for you!

I'm quite enjoying the Max-vs-FIA beef. I've been previously critical of Max's petulance but in this case I tend to side with him and am liking seeing how far he'll take it.

Really? Of all the disagreements between Max and the FIA, Max's insistence on swearing during interviews is, IMHO, by far the most pathetic of the lot.

Its a critical point with Sulayem's trying to micromanage the drivers behaviour and appearence. The fact that Hamilton supported him and Norris made the the fuss look ridiculous points to the drivers have had enough.
All IMHO ofc.
