Did Max move?
Why did Lewis sit behind a slowing Max instead of doing the simple thing and overtake?
Fun evening for the stewards deciding this outcome.

Just to prepare everyone...
Don't expect to know who has won the drivers championship next week Sunday. First we'll need to hear 1000 appeals and bla bla from whomever lost.
My suggestion, stock up on your favourite drink and get your F5 key working in top shape

Because he knew that the DRS detection zone was round the next corner.

A bit strange imho, but both Toto and Christian were quite a bit more humble and magnanimous during the interviews than they have been before.
Almost as if they both saw the dark side and realised that both teams need to calm down a bit to bring back some sanity to the sport.

Verstappen has been summoned for an "alleged breach of Article 2 (d) Chapter IV Appendix L of the FIA International Sporting Code" in relation to his driving when Hamilton ran into the back of him.
Verstappen summoned to stewards over incident with Hamilton | RacingNews365
Max Verstappen has been summoned to the stewards after an incident with Lewis Hamilton in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.www.google.com
The article reads: "Causing a collision, repetition of serious mistakes or the appearance of a lack of control over the car (such as leaving the track) will be reported to the stewards and may entail the imposition of penalties up to and including the disqualification of any driver."
I'd rather no penalties for anyone, even Crashie, next week will be more exciting with them being on equal points.

Nope. He literally gears down to stay behind him. On a flatout section.
It makes no sense under green flag conditions.

Lemon Twist.
Hamilton slowing the rest of the pack down so much he was more than 10 car lengths from Verstappen going to the line for the first restart. Max has colder Hards, and loses 1st place at the first corner.True
Amazing...the stewards let all of that go along with Perez being taken out.

So they were playing games, VER wanted HAM in front in the DRS detection zone to get DRS. HAM wanted VER in front so HAM could get DRS once the position was given back.
So HAM didn't take the position back in fear of VER getting a good DRS and instead... crashed into VER.

It's not a safety car restart so the 10 car length rule is moot.

If it was not reported to the stewards it wont be investigated so Masi or the team should have reported it if they though it was a foul..
