But when Leclerc moved into the middle of the track, the slipstream shifted from Sainz to Perez. I think Sainz was trying to stay in the slipstream and moved sideways into Perez who was now in the slipstream and was not going to give it up.

Perez was blameless in that crash. The stewards have called it a racing incident. But l think Sainz got away with it.
Disagree. It was unrealistic of Perez to expect Sainz to stay against the wall the entire way down the straight. A thinking driver would have given Sainz more space. Sainz was ahead with limited visibility to of where Perez was relative to him. Perez, on the other hand, had full visibility of what was happening and should have been able to predict that Sainz was likely to move left. Ultimately it comes down to who could have avoided the accident - both. But who ho had the greater chance of avoiding the accident? Definitely Perez.
