He went offtrack to prevent an overtake that would have happened otherwise?

I know, this is not an established way of using that penalty, but it would be consequential.

This argument would have only worked if Lando had rejoined behind and then complained that Max pushed him off. Frankly that's what he should have done - he would have another chance to have a go at max while also potentially have max get a penalty. McLaren really fucked that up

Max has never ever gotten a penalty for pushing people off. Look up how he pushed Hamilton in Brazil in 2021 and that was no investigation necessary: https://youtu.be/uhrAgoHCoyo
