    That race had a lot going on. Unfortunate to see Perez put in such a good drive just for that to happen.

      Indeed, I felt sorry for him. He had earned some good points.

      Having said that and even though the Stewards rules nobody was at fault, I believe he had the better chance to avoid this crash

      I was really fed up for him, it’s not often he gets to be faster than Max pretty much all weekend, and he really needed a good weekend. He even stayed back out of trouble till the moment came to pounce with Charles and then it goes wrong.
