Canada was a slam dunk penalty that had to be dished out. People simply didn't like its impact and thus they threw the toys out of the pram.

Drawing similarities between here and Canada is total false equivalence. Max was had the racing line and he was 100% entitled to take it.

A better similarity would be to equate it to football. If I challenge for the ball, and I get the ball, but follow through on the player it’s not a foul because I got the ball. Here Max got the ball (the racing line) and simply followed through. LeClerc could have avoided it just as easily as the player being challenged could have pulled or jumped out of the challenge.
Have you ever raced on track? A clean pass means that you leave the over taken car just enough room to remain on the course. That did not happen here.
