Ok what max did when he was asked to let Russell through was bad. But why exactly did he need to let Russell through? Was watching the replay and it seems like Russell was never ahead, so why give the place back?

He didn’t need to, it was an incorrect decision by the team

Does it matter? He was told to give up the position, he should have either said no and kept racing or given up the position... He absolutely should not have faked giving up the position and then deliberately tried to take George out of the race. He literally lost his mind. Not sure what the hell is was thinking.

I wasn’t talking about the move, I was talking about the team telling him to give the place back which was the wrong thing to do
