2025 Spanish Grand Prix - Barcelona-Catalunya May 30 - June 1

[SiLo]

The touch with Charles is a non story. Touch on the straight, with no damage or compromised pace from either car.
Max was the slower car being overtaken and held his ground when the position was lost. In fact I would say he was pushing Charles into the marbles on the right side. Charles drove by and was merging onto the racing line not expecting Max to be holding firm when he had no reason to be there anyway.
It's nothing. The event didn't even last a millisecond. Had Max stayed on the left, he would have been able to defend from Russell.

Another case of someone judging the incident based on the outcome, and not objectively looking at the actions.

Charles goes to overtake and then cuts back across and makes contact with Max. And slight differences and both of them are heading into the wall at 170mph.

There is no cutting back taking place there. As someone else put it beautifully, there was not ill intent to crash into Max. Charles was going onto the marbles because Max was coming over to the center. Charles had the overspeed on Max and simply tried to merge onto the racing line by inching over. It's normal racing. No crash was going to happen there.
Rubbing is racing.
Targeting another car to damage it out of frustration is dangerous. It could 170mph or 30 mph. You just never know what can happen. A car can catch fire after being pierced by a front wing, or shrapnel can fly and cut the driver, a wheel can come off and roll and hit a steward. Things can get real really fast, and a driver can even be criminally charged if the accident was actually intentional and some got hurt, or god forbid maimed or killed because some guy had a tantrum.
