In the picture of ///M Power-Belgium you can see that they are already interlocking wheels. How can LEC possibly maneuvre out of that?

If you drive 3 cars width into a corner, and one is narrowing in, you get a crash.
Exactly the same as in Qatar with HAM, RUS and VER.
In Qatar I thought there maybe would have been teamorders, that RUS might be ordered to reduce pace for HAM and tuck behind Max to make a MERC sandwich, but that wasn't the case, and then you get the same thing.

These are indeed classed as racing incidents, but imo that doesn't exclude that someone was very stupid
In Qatar it was HAM with a stupid move, and here it was PER.
And that move from PER could have been a bigger disaster, as taking out LEC could just as much have ment that LEC would also take out Max.
You never know what a crashing car is going to do....
Many other times, the middle driver who is getting squished by two other clearly faster cars backs out of the situation instead of holding their spot... Max and Checo were clearly in the lead when the incident occurred. A tap on the brakes from Charles would have avoided the accident and barely made an impact on his pace. It looks like he was trying to, but just didn't do it soon enough.
