Guess I'm a bit of contrarian but F1TV showed some really good second-by-second replays, and I'm not slamming any of the folks everyone blamed for the accidents.
IMO Perez could have given a little room to Kmag, he had a full car width to his left - sure it's not the preferred line but given that we had a Haas in each mirror he could have gone more middle of the track to block both and not closed that door so much on Kmag...
Ocon? Well maybe that's controversial but on the really slow replay, Gasly gets balked by the williams and leaves a giant hole inside - Ocon goes for it, is ahead of Gasly at the apex by a wheel, and inside. Game over, he won.... almost done. Gasly is sort of pinched outside, sure, but he is now slightly behind and outside, he could have a) slowed, b)come a bit closer to the barrier which he did not. I suspect there was an element of FU at play there also, not wanting to be passed by his team mate. If this had been a move on anyone other than his team mate people would have applauded... People have passed here in the same situation before, many times.
Either way delighted for Charles. I bet this reboots Leclerc - and with Lando and Piastri firing on all cylinders and Newey on gardening leave, there's hope for this season yet.
