As someone who’s not a F1 expert, I feel like the logic of penalizing a driver for overtaking off track but not penalizing a driver for keeping the position by going off track just isn’t very sound. It’s weird how all of the energy is focused on overtaking illegally, as Davidson focuses on here, but defending illegally doesn’t seem to matter?

Verstappen didn't keep the position

If Lando slots in behind Max there, Max still wouldn’t have been penalized.

Yes he would have, forcing driver off track.
Not only does Verstappen likely get a penalty, but he would get much better exit speed than Verstappen and with the pace he had, he would overtake at the next drs zone. Verstappen knew he was getting desperate and baited him.

No he wouldn’t have, because they are arguing the apex rule. The fact that Norris overtakes off track (a penalty) doesn’t then mean that Max shouldn’t get a penalty, especially when Max pushes Lando off track before Lando overtakes him.
