Others had issues but not that bad, Max’s brake point was by far the latest, his entry speed was the highest. If the corner was good he still wouldn’t have been able to give a car’s width.
Yet everyone else took essentially the same line. There was significantly less grip than everyone expected and most everyone missed the corner. Alonso sent it down the inside and looped it on his own, and that’s something that rarely happens.
It wasn’t repeated at all during the race, so I’m going to err on the side of it being a mistake (which even the best make) rather than a deliberate move to push Charles (who he regularly races very cleanly) wide
The line into the turn was not the issue the speed into it was. Max missed the exit of the turn by 10ft once you consider he had to leave space. Max missed twice as bad as anyone else. Even Alonso who spun managed to stay on the track.
