What surprises me further is that Max has no chance at all. to get anywhere near the podium. Amazing. I didn’t think the season would be so exciting. In the drivers‘ championship as well as in the constructors’ championship.
I would think that the other teams have made very good developments and updates after the summer break.
And Redbull may have rested too much because of their previous dominance. And thought they didn’t need to update the car too much this season.
Now they are running behind the music
The only positive thing for them is that with Leclerc, Norris and Piastri there are now three drivers “stealing” each others the points so it will take a long time until one of them will catch Verstappen. If it will happen at all.
From that video it looks that Sainz loses control and the car steers rapidly to the left. Could maybe also be some defect? Maybe something on the rear broke?
No, he didn’t steer at all, that was when Perez’s front wheel touched his back wheel and obviously spin him over. That’s when the contact happened and he started to spin
It is hard to say if the contact was caused by Sainz already losing control or Checo hitting him. Sainz car already looks in some kind of uncontrolled state in your video.
