I think the accident was more Sainz' fault than Stroll's, but IMO Stroll could have done more to avoid it.

Once commited to the (ill-judged) move, there was little Sainz could do.
Stroll obviously didn't even know Sainz was there.

I agree a bit with the commentators that Williams could and should have told Stroll that Sainz was there.
He could have blocked the inside to prevent the move, or could have been made an effort to avoid the accident.
Now, he rather left a lot of space at the inside.

Still Sainz' mistake, but I think Stroll could and would have avoided it if only he knew Sainz was there.
