So yeah you might not agree, but Charlie Whiting IS the FIA race director.
If he thought it was Verstappens fault, he would have said so. Its not that he didn't reprimand Verstappen before.....

Really? That is just laughable. The racing line is the fastest line. If you don't even know that, then this whole discussion is hopeless.
I have 6 years of racing experience, and this bit here shows you just don't have an inkling of how racing works.
"Verstappen probably didn't want to be put on the outside of T1. Who would"
Of course he didn't want to be on the outside of T1, as Ocon would easily have gone past. And that is the whole problem, Verstappen didn't think anything through. His big ego was in the way of everything.
But anyway, this is my last post on this topic, I see no reason discussing anything further here.
