That seems fair. Stroll rejoined like it was bumper cars and fucked Gasly's race.

I think +5 seconds was too lenient. They need to bring back stop-go penalties.

Yeah, 5 seconds for retiring another car is not enough.

F1 penalises based on the infraction, and not the outcome.

Maybe it's time for FIA to look into further categorising "Causing a collision"

Any ideas?

Does he even have any points left in his super license? Dude should be chased off the grid for always being so reckless

commentators said he earned 7 out of the limit of 12 per season

Doesn't matter. Penalty points don't lead to anything anyway. It's almost as if they're designed to be just a gesture.

[–] ibasaw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong.. Accumulated penalty points wouldresult in loss of super license?

I believe it's 'only' a one-race ban when you go over the limit of 12 points; not sure whether there are some more severe penalties for repeat offenders.
