Also, the supposedly "speeding up before the brake check" doesn't show on the multiple video feeds. Because from your points highlighted on the graph, that speeding up would have been from 100 to 200kph; which would either mean a doubling of the revs or shifting up 1 or 2 times. Both dont happen as can be seen in the video feeds.
Also that "speeding up before the brake check" would have happened over a stretch over 100M. Not seen on video.
The crash happened at 5300m.

Yes, impact is the 5300 mark after the prolonged decel by both drivers.
For anyone who hasn't moved on to Abu Dhabi, the reason it matters is it shows VER's braking pre-impact wasn't particularly heavy. Not really out of line with the entire decel, and certainly not unavoidable by a trailing driver leaving margin for error.
When an F1 car hammers the brakes it creates cliffs in telemetry speed data. Compare the following to the speed trace pre-impact on the Jeddah chart
