Verstappen got no penalty for his driving, only for his behaviour afterwards.
So on the track Verstappen was not to blame and Ocon was (at least, according to the officials).
The overtake was poor judgement from Ocon. He should have seen that he wasnt close enough to Verstappen to completely overtake him on the straight.
He couldnt place his car in front of Verstappen on the straight, instead he put his car next to him, ramming him in the next corner, where Verstappens front wheel was in front of Ocon's front wheel.

Like a lot of referees decisions in many different sports, I don’t agree with a lot of them. Ocon blew by MV on the outside and MV knew he was there, but turned into him anyway knowing he was inside of him into the turn. It was a classic my dick is bigger than yours contest and it cost MV the win period.
Question for you MV defenders. Had he let up and let Ocon go how do you think the race would’ve went after that? Also going forward how many F1 championships do you think MV will win if he continues to think with the wrong head?
