Not sure if I'm being ignorant of something here but Checo basically won Max a championship by holding up Hamilton. Nobody in the garage cared about Checo's race outcome in Abu Dhabi 2021.

Because checo held up Hamilton with great car placement and not with a 'if you try to overtake me I will crash into you' attitude which magnussen displayed yesterday. Like magnussens defense in jeddah was still fine but yesterday he was way way over the line.

If he is not punished for it, it is a blueprint for teams who will use the slower driver to defend in a overzealous way risking a crash to prevent the guy behind from overtaking

The last sector in that lap of Perez in that race was godly. He sacrificed every bit of pace in those corners to slow Hamilton down and keep him behind.
