No one else cut a corner this race to make a pass.
Yes people have gone off track, but usually they were done in corners with some exclusions. Turn 19 for instance is a double berm corner with no yellow bumps or work around cones. Going off there is not a major problem by yourself. Going off line to make a pass, is a completely different argument.
There was nothing inconsistent or out of line about this situation. I think the only problem (if you can call it that), is it stripped Max from an amazing race finish which we believe he deserved. That isn't justification for making and exception to a clear illegal pass. Had it been at Monaco, he would have never been able to get the pass like that.
