The race was still on. If he did let Ocon pass those few seconds could have cost him in the end.
There were still 28 laps to complete and Hamilton was what? 5 or 10 sec behind?
In that scope a few seconds is a long time.
Ocon had no right to interfere on that and he got a penalty for that which shows his actions were wrong.
What Hamilton has to say doesnt matter. He is a rival and has his own agenda. He'd like to see that in the future every time Verstappen is batteling with someone that is a lap behind Verstappen holds in and looses time, that will always be in favour of Hamiltons progression.

And that's why there are rules and Stewards giving penalties.


Who cares if Max is dutch or belgian. He has dual nationality afaik and comes from a little bordervillage. In those parts the difference between one and another nationality is negligible in practice.
