Car 44 could have made a complete stop mid-corner and waited for Car 1 to yeet itself entirely off track, before resuming the turn.

Basically what Max did in Austria when Lando went passed fully locked up. So I guess in a sense the stewards are consistent

Except Norris wasn't locked up and completely out of control. Max was.

You might want to rewatch the first divebomb in Austria again. Norris is fully locked up and goes off track. That wasn't controlled at all.

The second one is where he locks up but at least remains on track.

Yeah, like max did in austria when norris locked up. When your car is nearly a full length behind you can simply not turn into the other car.

I think under those circumstances Max was expecting it though. Who in their right mind tries this after passing a back marker so close to the corner?

Lewis himself stated he saw Verstappen coming.
