Revealed: Fernando Alonso's telemetry data that led to huge FIA penalty in Australia

Why did the stewards come down so hard on Fernando Alonso for an accident that happened behind him in Australia?

The stewards have outlined their reasons for giving Fernando Alonso a 20-second time penalty in Australia.

Russell was unharmed in the incident, but the stewards were suspicious of the circumstances of the crash and summoned the two drivers before them to review the circumstances. “Russell explained to the stewards that, from his perspective, Alonso’s manoeuvre was erratic, took him by surprise and caused him to close distance unusually fast, and with the resulting lower downforce at the apex of the corner, he lost control and crashed at the exit of the corner. There was no contact between the cars.

However, the question raised by the stewards was whether or not Alonso had chosen to do something extraordinary by lifting, braking, and downshifting over 100 metres earlier than usual and to a much greater extent than was needed to simply slow earlier for the corner.
