Yet new reporting by The Intercept, citing eyewitness accounts, offers more evidence to contradict the military’s claim.

Stroll enjoyed a strong launch off the grid and was leading Leclerc into Sochi’s Turn 4 when the Monegasque clipped the right rear wheel of the Racing Point in the middle of the corner, sending its unfortunate driver into the wall on the opposite side of the track. The stewards investigated the move but ultimately deemed the contact to have been a racing incident that did not warrant a penalty, a decision that seemed like a reasonable verdict based on the onboard…
