There seems to be the rub ... Christian Horner stated in an interview that during all practice sessions, drivers went outside of track limits. And that during the driver's meetings they were told there were no issues regarding track limits.
I'm not stating that Max didn't gain an advantage nor did he exceed track limits ... I don't believe Max nor Red Bull are disputing this either ... it's the constant inconsistencies that's the issue here. Basically, if the officials are going to make calls based upon "track limits" this should be explicitly mentioned during the driver's meetings so they all know what is expected of them.
Making this call that long after the race had ended is absolute rubbish. There should've been an investigation notice much sooner. Sure there still would've been speculation that it was because it's Max ... but at least the driver(s) wouldn't be put into an uncomfortable situation. Taking away a podium when you're just about to walk onto it is bad form. Period.
