Russell confirms that the sun was in the eye in on the straight after turn 2. Could be why both perez and sainz did not realise that they were drifting towards each other

Unsure how their views are (usually terrible when they give us the inside helmet camera) but throughout the race I could barely see the colours of the cars from the ultra bright glare.

It seems they were going from sun in your face to tunnel dark. These people are super human to drive like that
