I though they both looked shocked by the outcome, a chicane would be the safest place to stand your ground, relatively low speed, no fixed structures, even if you collide, there’s a good chance you’ll get away with it or at worst, only the car suffers.
Pre Halo era, Hamilton would have been killed in that accident, even with it, you can see it compress in the slo-mo, thank goodness for the safety. Max walking away wasn’t a good look, but better than ranting and raging in the moment.
