    Bit of a grey area as both essentially trying to achieve an advantage.. or not be disadvantaged by it depending on your POV.
    Until I see telemetry I'm not sure its clear cut who was most at fault so I think I'd just settle for racing incident.. something to learn from and also tighten up the rules.

    It reminds me of a similar-ish incident many years ago. Lewis being told to let someone (maybe Kimi?) pass at Spa iirc after achieving an off the track pass... but did so by positioning his car so that he could get a better exit and re-pass immediately.. which he did and subsequently was either told to let him pass again or was given a time penalty, can't remember which.
    I think it was a case of Max knowing and Lewis not knowing and because of that Lewis didn't want to overtake as he maybe thought there was an issue on track he couldn't see. Masi should have informed Mercedes first then RBR. Max wanted DRS,Lewis didn't know what was happening, Max brake tested Lewis so he would get DRS. It was dangerous from Max although I don't think his intention was to take Lewis out he just wanted DRS, however Max should have clearly moved over and let Lewis by, he didn't, and it's his responsibility to do so safely. I think Max should be disqualified. He has been dangerous too much this year and unless he is thought a lesson he's going to kill someone.
