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

Perez was driving a straight line, wasn't he? Carlos was driving ever so lightly left

But ahead of Perez, who could have adjusted but didn't for some reason

We'll see what they say but I guess the low sun could be an explanation
