    You have to include intent in the decision making. If someone drives hard and accidentally wobbles and hits a competitor causing them to go off track and retire that needs to be penalised differently to driving hard and t-boning a competitor. Wouldn’t you agree?

      I’m not debating that if it was on purpose it should be more severe, this is about how pathetic F1 penalties are. Don’t straw man my argument.

      In this incident we had Stroll fully off the track on the outside after braking too late. He then decided to not break while off-track, re-entered the track unsafely, and careered into Gasly on unsafe re-entry. All of that resulted in a meager 5 second penalty.

        Steady on lad. We were having a friendly discussion 😄. Nobody’s trying to straw man you. Don’t worry about it.
