Not sure it warranted a penalty
That was my initial reaction, but having watched the replays it was clear that Albon was alongside Hamilton at the apex, and that Hamilton didn't give him a car's width of space on the exit. Much as DC seems to think it's perfectly acceptable to run another car off the track on the exit of a corner, the rules are clear and I think the racing would be better if drivers could race side-by-side without one being run off the road by the car on the inside. So on that basis, I'd say the penalty was fair enough.

Good start to the season, great result for Lando/Mclaren. Brave but risky move from Albon. Not sure it warranted a penalty but given how badly Albon came off out of it it was probably fair. I don't think they know if the power unit issue he had later on was down to the collision but it's possible that would off ruined his chances of winning anyway.
