Are you sure about that? This is what was broadcasted. Nothing was clear.

Immediately after, Sky said "Antonelli gifting an opportunity there for Lando Norris" but it's all RB's fault...
Earlier in the race, Antonelli moved to the left of the circuit before Oscar Piastri overtook him.

It's why Marko referred to two separate incidents where one could conceivably think Antonelli waived them through. Mercedes is not above suspicion. If Mercedes want to help Mclaren, that's their right, there's nothing against it. It turns out RB was wrong but they aren't responsible for the actions of nuts on the internet anymore than Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton would be responsible for Latifi and Michael Masi's death threats.
Wow, on second viewing that defense against Piastri is atrocious, probably not intentional but very naive from Antonelli to leave the door so open, forget covering the inside line he left the whole track open.
To me the line is sooo odd. No one in the whole race used this outside kerb into T1 and Ant put half the car on it/into the dirt. That was not "forget covering".
Yeah, that would win the worst 'defense' of the season award. It's so difficult to overtake here, you need to be less than 0.4s coming out of the final corner with DRS and even then, if you hold the inside line that's the chance gone because the corner just does not allow overtakes on the outside.
