I'm still struggling to understand where people are justifying a proven brake test by using the fact that Lewis didn't do the idiotic thing in that instance and give Max DRS down the main straight?
Yes, Lewis tried to stay behind so that Max couldn't just DRS past after returning the place.
And? That's actual racing. Actual strategic driving. Well within the rules of the sport. Literally nothing wrong with it. Also at this point, Lewis hadn't been told VES was to give the place back, so all it looked like to him was VES trying to get the DRS (which frankly, is exactly what it was, he wasn't trying to comply to give the place back at all).
So what part of that justifies a proven brake check?
Is this the part where someone replies to me about how Max who was watching his mirrors the entire time he was coasting to the DRS detection line and knew exactly where Lewis was, didn't know what would happen if he suddenly applied 2.5g of braking out of nowhere just before they reached the line?
I suppose Max also didn't realise he was slowly drifting into the middle of the track where it narrows/bottlenecks, right at the time he was expecting Lewis to pass him and just as he brake checked him?
There's a point where Max being unaware of when, how and where to use his brake pedal or the consequences of its application basically every time Lewis is around, that giving the benefit of doubt doesn't make sense anymore.
