Yeah, true. He took a line that absolutely forced the issue, right then and there, because there was no way for Max to stay that wide and still make the whole sequence of corners without slowing way down and losing the place. So while the outcome of the collision isn't and isn't supposed to be factored into determining a penalty, as a fan it's hard for me to separate the two, because a 51G impact...man.

Yesterday I really wanted to put my fist into Hamilton's jaw, but I've calmed down a bit. Still think it was a really shitty place on the track to do that, but people who know a lot more about racing than I do don't think it was that bad, so I'll defer to them.
