What was the problem with RedBull communication? (Plain real question :) )

From what I understand from the turn 1 incident on that lap with Russel, the team told Max to give the position back as he could have been deemed to gain a lasting advantage by going off track and keeping ahead. Max didn’t like the call and decided to show his team what George did to him. However it was clear that Max did it intentionally and in a what could have been dangerous manner. Completely against the code of racing really. There was no need for it and it seems in many peo0,e views he should have been/should be penalised more harshly.

Ok but I don’t get what was wrong with the communication. They thought it would have been better to give the position back and they told him so.

[–] BowserBasher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. If he didn’t give the position back and the stewards found Max at fault he would then have gotten a penalty or told to give the position back. In that case he may have been 3 or 4 seconds ahead and would either had to lose that time to give the position, or try to gain a lead of whatever the penalty would be.

So team decided in that moment to give the position back as to then say look we didn’t gain an advantage. They made the call before any decision. Max didn’t like it and the rest unfolded.
