I haven't seen the race or incident yet.

But that's some big rookie iracing energy from Russell. Blaming the other car for braking too early.

Edit:

I have since watched the incident. My original thought stands. What a bullshit penalty.

Getting back on full throttle then hitting the brakes a second time mid corner is what got him in trouble. The early braking denotes the erratic behavior was intentional instead of accidental.
