"Well, let's have a little look again. There was room this time. It's happened much earlier in the corner, hasn't it? And then there is room, there is, there is that car's width at least for Charles Leclerc, but he's struggling to hold it and then Paris thinks, look, I'm ahead of you here, why shouldn't I take the racing line? At first glance, fair racing as well. He's got space, but Perez is moving towards the outer edge. Well, what does Sergio Perez do there to avoid Charles Leclerc going off? The immediate answer being, well, we'll put a bit more left hand down, but very difficult to do that pull when you're racing and it's about 127 miles an hour through that corner."
