Both look pretty even going into that turn.
Hamilton is also clearly off throttle and slowing before they start to turn in.
Max knew Hamilton was right next to him and nearly even going into the turn.

I've watched bot views frame by frame.
Both Max shouldn't have cut across so tightly and squeezed Hamilton to the inside considering their speeds.
I would even say Max had 0 intention of leaving a car width for Hamilton through that turn.
The overhead and POV shots for MAX pre impact show his line was going to nearly touch the stripes had they not touched.

Hamilton needed to slow a bit more to hug the stripes on the apex.
Like he did when he passed Leclerc on the same turn.

Like was said in the broadcast.
Both could have done more.
