I think he had every intention to push Lewis as wide as possible going by that but the more I watch it the more you notice how much he understeers and the front end drifts out. As a result they both go off.

A time penalty is the right outcome IMO
Yeah he understeers on purpose. No locking of the front wheels, no attempt to add extra steering angle…he knew what he was doing.

It was clear as day without the onboard in my opinion and I remain baffled at the decision, especially when compared to other very similar incidents.

Norris at Austria is the obvious one where I think that was much more of a ‘let them race’ scenario but he still got punished.

While I think Mercedes have all the info required for it to be reviewed and a retrospective time penalty applied I’d be very surprised if they succeed.

But IF they do it will just add even more spice to the already rather spicy pot!
