Formula 1's visit to its crown jewel event came at a rather sedate pace as Charles Leclerc finally broke his home race curse, while Red Bull struggled and red flag rules played into one driver's hands in particular.
It was a thrilling edition of a race steeped in history, worthy of joining those that came before it in the stratosphere of motorsport's memorable moments. Strategic gamesmanship preceded a final showdown between two of the championship's brightest talents, and the conclusion did not disappoint: a fearless overtake around the outside on the final lap proved to be the clincher. But enough about the Indianapolis 500.
It was ambitious, and might have required a near-improbable level of quantum tunnelling to squeeze his Haas through the space, but there was room for Perez to see Magnussen coming and at least accommodate a two-wide situation by moving slightly to the left. Except Perez didn't do that. He looked in his mirrors, saw the #20 car reflecting back at him, and decided not to do anything about it but continue on his current trajectory.
