I don't think this one qualifies as a racing incident. That would be introducing another grey area. The problem was Verstappen executed his plan poorly by slowing on the racing line. He was expecting Hamilton to pass on the dirty side of the track and to do so before the DRS line. That is why it backfired. There is no blame for trying to take advantage of the DRS to help regain the place. What he should have done was to get off the racing line and slowed. Hamilton would have zoomed by into the lead, then Verstappen would have received the DRS, cleaned his tyres before the DRS activation point which is a long way off. And then use the DRS to mount a counterattack.
He fluffed it with a poor execution and caused an accident in the process.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
