He was 0.63 seconds below the minimum, over a half a second

If he was off by less than a second as to when VSC would actually end, he would have ended up above the minimum time before he could slow back down. We have seen countless sprinters jumping a start when they are held for longer than usual time and it was not because all those people crumbled under pressure.

he was overly focused on being right on top of Piastri rather than his margin. Max appears to get more reckless under pressure.

Well you always take more risks when you have the 'slower' car than when you have the quicker car. Max raced the Ferrari differently because he knows he can have multiple attempts to pass Charles. Against the McLarens, he pushing the limits to try and gain any advantage. Often results in him going over the penalties and some the incidents (T7/T8 in Mexico) were way over the line but I would rather see someone pushing the limits rather than just accepting their fate.

He guessed and was way off, you can sugar coat it any way you want about almost guessing correctly but he took an unnecessary risk.

I never said he crumbled, just cracked, if he keeps making these kinds of mistakes then he'll crumble. Sprinters that jump the gun do crack under the pressure. Max made a mistake because of the pressure.
