But Russell isnt expecting it, by the time he does he's right on Alonso's gear box and near the apex/turn-in so hitting the brake has predictably scary results.
If it was similar to Saudi and Max/Lewis on a straight...thats somewhat avoidable...this was dangerous and Alonso should know better.

Here is the video I watched about it:
I think at times you can be juking for position for sure, but the idea of downshifting early, then on the gas after that with and upshift, then take the normal brake point and downshift is pretty blatant. I'm by no means an expert in F1 though. I'm more well-versed in Rally, where this type of stuff never comes up
