Even if his car wasn't beached or damaged... By the time the crane would have lifted Max's car off Lewis it would likely have been far too late to get back into the race to achieve any worthwhile result.

Well, I'd certainly have been impressed with his presence of mind to have read and processed the whole situation so well to have opted to wait .. but...if he then came back to win I'd also 100% be doffing my hat to your Merc sandbagging conspiracy theory.
Tbh, I think I'd have just being rolling on the floor laughing at the huge psychological blow just experienced by Max... and how that was going to impact future races. Viewing figures would be going through the roof.

Interesting development
Redbull's Horner thinks Hamilton who was the victim of the Monza crash where he had to used his head to prop the Redbull as it bounced over the Mercedes should have been penalized with the same penalty that the stewards issued to Verstappen for his part in the crash. I did not hear him advocate that at Silverstone.
How about that?Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

I think what need to be put into perspective here is that Verstappens crash into Hamilton in Monza was actually a lot more dangerous than the incident between the two in Silverstone. Verstappen went in sideways into the barrier, this is the best possible angle one can crash at. Even 20 years ago Verstappen would have come out of that crash with little more than a scratch and I remember Michael Schumacher having a very similar incident in Copse at around the same speed in one of the free practice sessions many years ago and he went onto race the next day.
On the other hand, had the Monza crash occurred 4 seasons ago, it is almost certain it would have been fatal for Hamilton, or at the very best he would have ended up crippled for the remainder of his life.
I agree however that this is not relevant to the punishment but I think people seem to think just because it's 51G it's more critical, but that's not the case.
Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
