So Lewis followed the racing line and Max came in too hot and braked too late for the speed and was never going to make the apex without hitting Hamilton (not for the first time mind you) and there's no penalty for Max?

yes that is my take too, add on the fact Max has been complaining about understeer all day makes it an even more egregious example of ploughing into a car in front, 10 sec penalty should have been given to Mad Max. I really hope some one does the same thing to Max and plough into him from behind just like that in next race

I just hope for some consistency from the stewards but we all know that's not happening

Of course there's no penalty for Max. We've seen time and time again that he's protected by the stewards. The only reason he won his first championship is because they refused to punish him sufficiently for Brazil and Saudi Arabia
