I'm going to assume here , that you are referring to the corner before where the incident took place .
I didn't hear Lewis complain about being pushed off , and nor did I hear the stewards cite him for going off track in that corner .
It did set the stage , though .
Had Lewis been able to hold his line and not slide out into Sergio , there was no incident . He was unable to hold it because he was compromised on the way in by his rival .
His only choice was to slow down and concede the corner .
That's also what Checo was trying to achieve by moving in on the space Lewis needed to make that corner .
I found it a bit surprising that he got the points on his license , but he could have slowed , so as not to have slid out into a rival , putting him out of the race entirely .
It was a great show up to that moment , but that minor screw-up deserved the 5 seconds .
There is a rumour that the Ferrari-Newey deal is done and dusted.
