Someone printed the transcripts of the last 5 laps, and this is false.
The team told both drivers to target 33.0's. Max just disobeyed and ran 32.6's. When Checo's engineer realized this, he told Checo he could push.
Really it was just Max's selfishness popping up again (although, he's a ruthless competitor hungry for his 3rd championship, so I don't blame him for trying as some would), but this narrative that the team intentionally fucked Checo over by telling him to run slower is far juicier
What's also funny on that transcript is Checo basically whining to the team trying to make sure the positions stayed as they were.
I hate that shit, I would have loved to have seen a last lap shootout for 1st place between the two if it was possible. Not because I really care for Max or hate Checo, but because I care for exciting racing, first and foremost.
