Will was sitting in last place and knew that Cooper was away and gone with no chance of catching him. A place on the rostrum was better than 4th and so he had to go for the gap that Pijper had left. If he got through he got third. If he failed it would have been the same as where he was before he went for it. Logic says go for it. He nearly pulled it off but not quite. He did catch Pijper wheel so was rightly excluded but it almost came off.

The reaction from Pijper though was ridiculous, and frankly, totally expected knowing his personality. He nearly always likes to throw a hissy fit in a meeting. First tantrum when it looked like his mechanic didn’t put fuel in his bike, then a second when he was taken out. He will soon discover someone bigger and tougher will knock him spark out if he comes charging up to the wrong person who won’t take that behaviour. His pit crew were just as bad. 

So kids aren’t allowed to react like kids these days ? 
As for his ‘pit crew’ you mean his Dad ? who got hold of him and stopped it escalating.

Think you’re the one overreacting.

From the video on socials Cairns went for the gap "Polish" style on the inside and touched Pijper's wheel so was rightly excluded but both looked untidy going into the corner. Referee made the correct decision and agree with awarding the race also.
