You might think differently, but the people who have a say in this decided it was Ocons fault.
The only thing Verstappen did wrong was his behaviour right after the race, but I can imagine he was pumped with adrenaline after being illegally pushed off the track by a lesser driver.
Punishment is not evidence, although we all clearly agree that Ocon was at least responsible for a majority. Ocon didn't push him off the track though. Ocon was squeezed off of the inside of the track. Would you say that it was in Max's best interest to assume that Ocon, who was alongside him in the turn just prior, would disappear from alongside him?
