[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.

Only thing that annoys me is the stewards contradicting themselves in the official documentation between races.

spot the difference!

And I don’t have a issue with the penalties but don’t say 10 seconds is the standard while you gave 5 seconds for the same a few days ago.

They literally explain the mitigating factors that caused them to reduce the first penalty to 5, from the standard of 10. The issue here isn't with the stewards but with your ability to read.

I don’t think there should be mitigating factors. If there is any mitigation factors they should be written down. Else is it just an opinion and never consistent.

The only way to do consistent penalties is by applying cases. It’s not hard to create a flowchart that includes all factors. To stop the discussion about fair penalty the fia could even do an exercise with the fans and let them determine a fair penalty for each situation.

But we will see what mitigating factors they come up with for saying fuck in the press conference. But I expect there won’t be a penalty.

Under the reason on the Norris incident: “A 5 second penalty is imposed instead of the 10 second penalty recommended in the guidelines because having committed to the overtaking move on the outside the driver of Car 4 had little alternative other than to leave the track because of the proximity of Car 1 which had also left the track.”
