But max wasn’t sanctioned so the FIA have absolutely set a precedent, Hamilton can quite rightly point this out in the stewards room today and have a valid point.
Perhaps the stewards should be applying rules in the proper manner and then there would be no argument.
Not how that works. Sometimes incorrect decisions are made, but the FIA absolutely has the ability to make a public statement about how the rules are to be interpreted.
If they say a rule was interpreted incorrectly, or that the stewards did something incorrectly (or missed something), then that statement will be the precedent.

The fact that every racing driver, Max’s own boss, can’t even defend him, but some forum posters can… it’s borderline cultish or people are just doing it for the spamming.
Lewis himself called it a racing incident. Maybe he knows something you don't.
and yet most max fans are blaming 100% for the contact and you wonder why Max takes no accountability out here, ironically like his fans
Biased fanbases are biased. There's nothing new there - but to insinuate that that has anything to do with how Verstappen acts is plain and simply stupid. Verstappen is how he is - with or without his fans.
Lewis fanbase also raged on Alonso for Spa 22, despite the fact that it was clearly Lewis fault. Stop giving attention to rabid fanbases, and particularly, stop assuming that it affects drivers. Drivers know they have insane followers - and they also know that they are best ignored.
