Indeed. I'm not 100% sure if there was not physically car width on the outside. I was very close. However to me it feels at 22s into the video it seemed Sainz steered a bit more straight then he could've and left Hamilton few other options. Just after that Sainz seemed to be able to steering more to the left and perhaps just leave enough room, but by that time Hamilton was already left no other trajectory than to go off track.

Also who had the idea of that sausage curb at that corner? If one gets pushed wide by another driver, you risk big damage to your car with little fault to you

Indeed again. I understand why they would want to place a sausage kerb somewhere in that chicane but the current position indeed leaves the outside car zero options.
