That is what mercedes claimed, but they showed the message to verstappen to slow down on tv half a lap before. So it's not the stewards or redbull, it was mercedes who didn't tell hamilton.
If Hamilton hasn't had the message, than i can't blame him for it. That would make it a race incident. But mercedes must have known about it, so that makes it their fault.
But weird to give verstappen a penalty when he tried to do what was asked from him.

I just heard Hamilton did not get the message that Verstappen was going to give the place back until after they had collided. I would think Mercedes probably got the message late too.

In a red flag situation well yes, I guess it is and so they have to do the same if it happens again.
As I said.. Its really not so different from during a normal race. The team have the option to give the place back if told to by the Stewards... and if they choose not to they get a 5 sec penalty.
In this case the race was stopped so there really has to be a negotiation. If they didn't give him it, Max would be disadvantaged compared to anyone else it has happened to in a normal race with no red flag. Its a pretty clear and sensible thing to do.. and with continuity IMO.
