The belief in the pits was that track limits at turn 4 would not be enforced during the race.
In the race Horner told Verstappen that Hamilton was exceeding track limits at turn four and Verstappen could do the same.
Hamilton was later told to stop exceeding track limits at 4 otherwise race control would give him a penalty...so he did.
I didn't hear Verstappen get the same warning...maybe he did.
Anyway fair shout by race control...overtaking by going off the track and gaining a lasting advantage is against the regulations.
Verstappen already got a time penalty for passing Kimi off track on the last lap at Austin a few years ago.
