The odd drive through penalty is fine by me, especially if someone is cutting a chicane or has tried to ram another driver…. but I feel driver & team penalties are being taken too far now, not just on the engine component side, but also on the driver side during races. Apparently Ricciardo now gets a 10 place grid drop at the next race for the pit stop incident. Isn't he already penalised enough by having a terrible race?
No amount of penalties will prevent mistakes from happening. People make mistakes, it's the human way.
It's just spoiling the whole thing for everyone!
Back in the 90s they just got on with the racing!!
An F1 weekend is now based around who has what penalties.
I just want RACING
What is your opinion?
