If you always give in, you'll always lose seconds, eventually affecting all your results.
As a race leader you shouldnt have to deviate from the ideal driving line when a lesser god tries to unlap himself. That Ocon chose a poor moment and was responsible for the crash follows from his penalty.
Unlapping by overtaking is not putting your car next to the race leader and expect him to back down. Thats not how the game is played.

Look at Hamilton’s comments to MV after the race and it says it all IMO. It is one of the most successful drivers in F1 history trying to help another one. MV would be very wise to actually think about what is being said to him.
