Brawn:Max can't control his emotions

(1/3) > >>

On one hand Brawn is critical of Max's antic then
he turns around and kisses his bottom. Max must think I can
get away with anything now.

There is video showing Ocon’s onboard and radio transmissions leading up to the crash.  After watching that, I don’t even think the 10sec penalty was justified.   Max should have received one instead. 

Usually Brawn tells it like it is, in this case I don’t think he had all the information.

Brawn had to have seen the accident and the footage. I
think it's just the max can do no wrong attitude everyone
is taking.

John S:
I'd seen the Ocon onboard previously, yes he is faster than Max, yes he is allowed to unlap himself, but and it's a big but he's not allowed to be in a collision with the race leader. That's why he got the penalty he did.

Max showed as much poor judgement as Ocon in the actual incident which is why I think the stewards gave only the 10sec stop go instead of a disqualification. Race leaders must have certain expectations from lower end runners; one is that backmarkers pull out of unlapping when a shunt will result when keeping their foot in.

The race leader or any podium placed car must be able to expect lapped back markers to not interfere materially with their positions during the race, surely?

I also think Ocon should have apologised freely & loudly to Max in the weigh in area, after all he did change the race result with his actions, whilst he himself lost nothing.
It's still a mystery to me what he thought there was to gain from unlapping himself, the tyre advantage would be over in 5 or 6 laps and many others were too far ahead for him to reach points.
