    No other tyres left, would have been very vulnerable in last laps, this is debatable and we’ll never know. Race engineer is probably in the right, and Max knew it or he wouldn’t have given it up. Max threw his car into George, the lack of a race ban is ridiculous

      The race engineer was wrong. The stewards confirmed after the race that the first incident between Max and George would not be penalized and Max taking the escape route was fine. There was no reason to give back the place in hindsight.
