    I didn’t agree with that 10 second penalty. It really did look like a racing incident. Especially looking at how Max dive bombed Mexico way too fast to make T1 and even though it looked like he left the track to get advantage he got nothing! It seems like they are rewarding insane moves that won’t stick and punishing cautious driving.

      Kind of sad what f1 has become… All kinds of gimmicks to improve racing and when there is legitimate wheel to wheel racing their stance is: you were not in front of the other guy’s mirror, here is 10sec for you.

        It’s such a dumb rule, especially at that corner where you can take different lines. Obviously Piastri is gonna have to break earlier than Kimi or Charles who are taking wider lines.
