I have no idea what your referencing, I think there's a movie with that name, but I can't watch "race" movies as they emphasize all kinds of things that are unimportant to a racer, and completely miss what is important. Grand Prix is an exception.
I won't claim a perfect understanding of F1 aerodynamics, I just know that when a car is going near 200MPH, there's a lot of air being displaced, and also turbulence trying to fill back in what was displaced. Depending on how the cars are positioned, there can be a push away, or a pull towards.
Ultimately, Perez straight lined the wheel in a right hander, sending him smack dab into Massa who had a full head of steam in what is I believe a DRS open straight.
As for Perez trying to overtake seb, getting on the brakes early there, no, doubt he was thinking that.
