At first it looked like Max destroyed Estebans lap. In reality they both destroyed each others lap.

      Every other car had the same problem into T1. It clearly wasn’t an intentional divebomb. It deserved penalizing for not giving the position back, but it wasn’t intentionally pushing him off just because he can.

          Yet everyone else took essentially the same line. There was significantly less grip than everyone expected and most everyone missed the corner. Alonso sent it down the inside and looped it on his own, and that’s something that rarely happens.

          It wasn’t repeated at all during the race, so I’m going to err on the side of it being a mistake (which even the best make) rather than a deliberate move to push Charles (who he regularly races very cleanly) wide
