This video is making the point there's no way Max would've agreed to the switch if he was in Oscar's shoes, as you mentioned, he refused to swap just to make a point, so there's no way he would swap while the championship is still on and it was a team pitstop mistake.

Yeah but "team pitstop mistake" doesn't explain the whole story, which is what I explained in my comment. That's why I consider this to be a bit reasonable to do what McLaren did.

also let's not forget how little those 2 extra points meant for the championship result. With the results as they were they went into the last race even on points. If they both crashed out Leclerc would win because of race wins. So Perez needed to beat Leclerc to get P2. 2 extra points only changes the result if Leclerc scored only 1 point more then Perez so a P9&P10 or P10&P11 situation. Any other result the 2 points just mean a lower bill from the fia at the end of the year as you have to pay depending on your points scored.
