Summary as follows (from reddit):-
I personally felt that Max didnt do anything egregious on the second incident into Turn 1. But the first incident was pretty damning IMHO..he clearly moved twice..and it was not to take the optimum line into the corner.
- Verstappen adamant he had merely defended his position hard
- Räikkönen called Verstappen's maneuvers during the race "questionable"
- Ferrari believed Verstappen had changed direction twice while defending and contacted Charlie Whiting
- Whiting contacted the Stewards during and again after the race to look at the incidents
- both times they saw no reason to investigate
- this could have been influenced by the opinion of Alan Jones (one of the Stewards that race), who's known as a hard fighter on track
- 2 hours after the race they looked at the incidents again after Räikkönen had complained publicly
- in laps 57 and 67 Verstappen demonstrably changed direction twice while fighting Räikkönen
- the first changes of direction were interpreted as bringing the car in the perfect position for the corner, and only the second changes of direction were interpreted as defensive moves
- Räikkönen's criticism is mainly about the timing of Verstappen's moves
- he says Verstappen didn't leave him with time to react, which first resulted in his front wing being damaged and later forced him to run wide in turn 1
- Whiting most interested in Räikkönen's second attack at turn 1
- Verstappen moved his car left onto the ideal line 125m before the corner
- Räikkönen then moved to the inside and Verstappen did the same 75m before the corner already in the braking zone
- Räikkönen had to take avoiding action and moved to the left again
- there is an unwritten law against changing lanes during braking, because it leaves the car behind with hardly any time to react
- Whiting wants to talk to Räikkönen again in Hockenheim to get his point of view, although it's now too late to punish Verstappen
Martin Brundle also said he thought the moves were dangerous.
