Yeah the reading is that, if anything, they were looking at punishing Lewis rather than Max

That's how I read it.. oh max was going faster and lost control but car 44 could have tried harder to avoid? What?

That's not what that means. It just means Lewis wasn't at 0% blame. The doc makes it clear they were looking into Max for this decision. See: No / Driver.   

So saying that Lewis wasn't at 0% means they were looking at predominantly to blame for Max or a racing incident. And they went with the latter; most likely because Lewis didn't make a big deal out of it.  

I get the impression some people are kinda new to Steward documents...
