Jolyon's analysis:



Spoiler, it's Hamilton's fault.

I don't think anyone should really argue that it wasn't ...

But another key takeaway is what i wrote a few days ago:

With regards to Hamilton's attempt to pass Alonso i'd like to add that Perez pulled a carbon copy of the move on Russell right behind HAM/ALO, he arguably left even less space on the inside, turned in more aggressively and wasn't alongside as early, the difference being that Russel - unlike Alonso - played along and nothing happened, as always it takes two to tango.
Both Hamilton and Perez tried the same move, the differentiator between failure and success was the other driver, and realistically Perez could not really know Russell would yield, just like Hamilton he turned in and hoped for the best ...

Or in Palmer's words:
Checo's taking a bit of a chance by turning into a really similar place as Lewis but [...] Russell's earlier on the brakes and then Checo can take his line.

Yeah I spotted that too on the replays. But really important to point out here too is that Alonso after he had committed after the braking couldn't really back off any further (as some people here say).
