    If literally anybody else did this we’d be talking about a lifetime ban lmao imagine Esteban ocon driving into someone he was told to let by out of frustration, he’d be done. Theres no room for this in the sport. idc if its the best driver in the world or not, its unacceptable and should receive an extraordinary punishment to ensure this behavior ends immediately. 3 race ban is significant, 3 penalty points is a calculated risk for max, clearly.

      No. Vettel got a 10 second stop-go and 3 penalty points for essentially the same thing. 3 penalty points is fair. You can disagree on the 10 second ban and I will agree that it should’ve been a a clear disqualification (assuming the rulebook allows something like that) or at the very least a 10 second stop-go. 3 race ban is just overkill and a lifetime ban would be completely idiotic.
