He was telling Max he wasn't going to pass before that detection line .
He knew Max's game by then and being so tight that even he , a guy with the reflexes of an adrenaline-soaked cat , couldn't avoid a rapidly slowing car ahead just wasn't smart .
They were racing to slow down , and the guy behind is always going to hit the guy ahead in that scenario .
It was a ludicrous moment for F1 .
Max , for sure , should not have hit the brakes .
But , his instruction was to slow down and Let Lewis by .
Lewis should not have been that close behind , but was told that Max would let him by , not that he must pass .
So , you see , a stupid situation set up by stupid DRS rules .
