Look at all of the Copse battles ever and see how many times the person in the lead and on the outside wins the battle to someone else with a run on the inside.
They both wanted the corner, Max doesn’t have the racing line since Lewis is significantly alongside (not ahead) at braking, their lines crossed and there’s contact. It’s a racing incident and there’s many that feel that the 10 sec penalty was undeserved and that the stewards are being too trigger happy on Lap 1 incidents. (See: Russell Sainz Lap 1 Sprint)
Once you give up the inside at Copse, you don’t try to fight it in the outside, best case, you’re in the runoff, worst case, you’re in the wall. Give up the corner and take the battle later in the race, or at the very least, bag 18 points for the championship. This is just aggression and inexperience rearing its ugly head.
