That was a heck of a race!

I don't think Max purposely pushed Lewis wide. He braked way later than he normally would to try to stay ahead and since they're already at the maximum speed humanly possible through every turn, there's no way Max could have stayed on track at the higher entry speed.

EDIT: with that said, should Max have been forced to give up the position for exceeding track limits to his advantage? Probably.
