As Turn 1 follows immediately into Turn 2, I find it somewhat difficult to comprehend how Ocon was "well behind before Turn 2" when the visual evidence as shown above clearly show Ocon alongside but maybe 1/3 back as Verstappens quicker line through Turn 1 allows him to claw back the position. Verstappen could (and clearly in a sensible world should) have maintained his race-leading position by taking a wider line through 2.



As for idiotic conspiracy theories.........
