This could have happened in Canada but stewards decide to follow the rules more or less strictly depending on some circustantces not closely related to the race itself.

What the stewads said:but there was clearly insufficient space for both cars to do so
What happened in the real world, on that lap and the previous one
If track doesn´t get narrower each lap, I think we can´t find a better example of an absurd decision based on politics as the argument used is just too ridiculous...

Reporter: What happened with Max?
Leclerc: Nothing just an incident on the race
Your argument is faulty imo, as the drivers do not take the same line ever single lap. Hence the reason why some times a pass or defensive maneuver works one one lap and not the other!Andres125sx wrote: ↑03 Jul 2019, 10:50What happened in the real world, on that lap and the previous one

And yet, Vettel received 10s stop and go penalty for that(Baku 2017?), and even that wasn't enough for many of us here.
The penalty was for the red mist of pulling over next to another driver and ramming his car into it.
One happened behind a safety car, the other happened during the race, they are in no way comparable!

So I bring you some wise words of Charles:

Verstappen: Thanx!
now stop crying, Leclerc gave that corner to Verstappen how you give your teammate that corner after a pitwall call.

I think Verstappen deserved the win even if his move was very aggressive. Leclerc lost the race when the took the corner leaving enough space for Verstappen to take the inside.
