WTF happened there??
My guess is Carlos was blinded by the light after the turn and couldn’t properly see he was inching to the left.
Perez could have avoided that and got his best result for a long time. Hell he could still have overtaken sainz there if he just moved left slightly
Edit : I guess perez was also slightly blinded by the sun and did not realise he was drifting towards sainz. Unfortunate
