There's video of every single driver using that turn in that way, max included, he just wasn't going off as far until the team told him he could use it more. You don't see people going ON MY GOD MAX WAS ONLY THAT CLOSE BECAUSE OF TRACK LIMITS!! A pass off track is a slam dunk penalty and max gave the position back there as doing so where he could just slip stream and take the place back would have also been a penalty (like Hamilton got for doing that on Kimi at spa).
Agree completely, Horner absolutely loves a protest and he didn't give it a second thought, tells you everything.
I also agree that it was not very well explained during the coverage, perhaps they didn't have all the information at the time.
