Bottas could easily have not seen the lock up, so to say it's 50/50 is a stretch, really. To me, Sargeant is still completely at fault, but it's obvious it's a rookie mistake rather than actually dangerous driving, so it doesn't really make him a bad driver.

That seems fairly obvious and hard to miss.

Yeah, I see it. So he should be able to see Logan locking up. However, looking back at the footage, I can see that there really isn't much Bottas could do to avoid the crash other than going off track along with Sargeant, since that's where Sargeant was heading if he didn't had contact with Bottas.

He was moving too fast to brake and cut under Sargeant before they both go off the track.

So, he might have shared some blame for the crash happening instead of him being run off track, but I still disagree to your claim that the fault is 50/50.

Well, for me it is the same with road traffic. Even if you're not at fault, if there is a chance the incident could've been avoided by driving "defensively", then you should try that.

But in the end it is just semantics and I guess we agree. Main culprit is sargeant here, but he is from a dangerous driver. I mean, look at what nervousness does to Perez, so it is no wonder that Sargeant doen't feel all that confident currently.

Enjoy the rest of the season dude!

Your image is not loading for me. Do you have any mirrors?

Edit: Nvm, it suddenly loads after a while.

I don't understand this comment. We are having a discussion here, not a gotcha argument. Why would him providing a good source for his arguments be something I would consider a negative.
