The bonus of the ss over the soft over that short lap is probably equal or a bit smaller than 0.65s. So repeat Ocon did not have a speed advantage. He just had DRS, his ego and a lack of common sense.

This isn't wrong. I don't think you'll find anyone who thinks that Ocon was right. That's not what people are saying. People are saying Ocon was an idiot, but Max chose to fight the idiot. If Max had the speed advantage you claimed then he'd blow by him and clear off again within a couple of corners, so why bother combating someone who is acting like a muppet?
