also the Stewards specified a max braking of 2.4g.
But that doesn't say much. I mean, you can slow down from 101kph to 100kph with 10g, or a 100g if the car allows, but you'll still be only slowing down from 101 to 100kph, you're just doing it really fast.
If you cant dodge that, you're clearly too close to the other car
It is the amount of speed that you slow down abruptly, and that that significantly happened (a proper brake check is at least? 25kph? slowing down?) doesn't really show from both the data and the video footage.
