You need to actually watch the race and pay more attention to what happens!

What's next you are not allowed to defend your position and you are not allowed to move your eyes away from the mirrors in case a noob is chasing you and can't use the free space enough for at least 3 cars to overtake you?

Perez moved well off the racing line without bothering to check if Massa was coming past - it's 100% his fault and a slam dunk.

1. There is no rule that you have to follow the racing line at all times.
2. Last time I checked Massa was not blind and could steer his car around obstacles.
3. Racing line is "blurry" it is normal to take early apex when you are defending.

F1 cars have these things called mirrors, all Perez had to do was use them and there would not have been a crash!

They also have these things called steering wheels, all Massa had to do was use it and there would not have been a crash!

As I said he can turn left. Correction - he can stop turning right. He doesn't need to vanish.

He wasn't turning right, he's driving patellar to the racing line.

Look, believe what you want, I'm not even a Massa fan boi so I don't really care that much!

You on the other hand must be a Perez fan boi to be so in denial!

The track is going right and he was following it so he was turning right while Perez was going straight. And I actually criticized Perez a lot last year at monte carlo I don't like him at all. I'm not in denial everyone who believes Perez is at fault is wrong and doesn't understand how racecraft works. My point is - it couldn't be more obvious that the stewards are corrupt.

Sorry you are correct it does go slightly right, however Perez was clearly leaving the racing line without bothering to check were Massa was - it's not like he suddenly darted left, he was to the left of Perez thru that entire section! All Perez had to do was use his mirrors.
