[โ] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) Perez could have avoided that and got his best result for a long time. Hell he could still have overtaken sainz there if he just moved left slightly Edit : I guess perez was also slightly blinded by the sun and did not realise he was drifting towards sainz. Unfortunate permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] jonne@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) It's kind of irresponsible to be racing at that time of day if drivers end up going down a straight blind like that. They should probably move the start to a bit earlier in the day. Russell said he couldn't see shit going past the accident and they were lucky they both were on the side of the road and hadn't bounced back into the middle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) But I'm from the UK and it would inconvenience me if the race were any earlier permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] jonne@infosec.pub 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Fine, we'll just endanger the drivers for your convenience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) How about, as a compromise, we race earlier in the day but shine a spotlight down the straight so the drivers are still blinded?

I'm actually wondering if a night race could be an option. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago My guess is that both were trying to catch Leclerc's slipstream and were focused on Leclerc and not each other. That said if I had to assign blame I think it's more on Perez than Sainz. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Microw@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (3 children) Perez was driving a straight line, wasn't he?
