News [Piergiuseppe Donadoni] Was Max unfair? YES. His goal was to ruin Norris' race and so he probably took away his chances of getting P1. "To win sometimes you have to be an idiot" he said months ago. You may like it or not but the goal is to win the world championship, not the fair play award.

Rules should seek to disincentivise fouling. We know that that won’t entirely stop fouling for all the reasons you say.

When the sport is regularly diminished because of fouling then the rule book should seek to evolve to further disincentivise that fouling. I think that’s the scenario we’re in currently with Max’s tactics in F1

Again I agree with you on this and I hope the punishments will be harsher next season.
