Please, objectively speaking, at what point is Leclerc actually at fault? (I'm not talking about the FIA or the penalty.) Lewis leaves Charles the minimum amount of space through Turns 1 and 2, and Charles does the same to Lewis through Turn 3. So far, no problem. Then, at Turn 4, both drivers brake too late. Even if Charles wanted to make the corner, it was impossible because Lewis didn't make the corner either. And thankfully, Charles cut the track, because there could have been a crash or a major collision between the two cars. Having laid out the facts, I'll say it again: Charles races in F1 to win, not to finish P2, P3 or P4. If it had been Max instead of Lewis, he would have done exactly the same thing. Every driver knows how important clean air is hereeee. What personally bothers me, and I'm being completely honest here, is Lewis's complaints over the radio during the first stint, speaking as if they were fighting for a championship. And you can understand his frustration, because he started P1 and found himself down in P3 by Turn 6. When you're frustrated, it's easy to get angry and say things you might not otherwise say. In the media pen, Charles took responsibility for the penalty, saying several times that he deserved it. He also acknowledged that they both went too far, because they both braked too late. In his interviews, Lewis never takes responsibility. I get the impression that he wants to put all the blame on Leclerc. Even Vasseur disagrees with that narrative, saying that Lewis pushed Charles wide. And we know Charles: he prefers to calm things down. The problem is that this makes Leclerc look like the villain, the one who respects nothing, the one who cost Lewis a victory. But it's not Charles's fault that Lewis missed his braking point at Turn 4, which allowed Max to pass. Had Lewis made the corner properly, Charles would have let him back through (as Charles confirmed in his interview). Anyway, we will see what happens #F1 #MexicoGP 🇲🇽
