#and this is coming from someone who doesn't care about kev's ban either

[tetheredbysin]

watching kev's post-race interview as well as his radio from the race, I will say that I absolutely agree with him on how ridiculous his penalty is. not the getting a penalty but the severity of the penalty.

danny ric almost sent nico into the wall at high speed. 5 seconds with 1 penalty point.

kev had some contact with gasly because he locked up while entering a corner at low speed, contact which in the end didn't really affect the race for either of them and there was no damage, no real "dangerous moment". 10 seconds and two penalty points.

I'm not excusing kev or blaming danny or anything like that. kev had contact, it was on him. daniel pushed nico off, that's on him. that's that. I'm calling the FIA out on their bullshit. if the purpose of penalty points is to penalize drivers for "dangerous or risky driving", how do you excuse giving 2 points for low speed contact that really set no one at risk and 1 point for a moment that could've ended up with a driver seriously injured if nico had lost the car there. I understand that for them, locking up means he isn't in control of his car which is the "risky" part. but that is half driver, half car. if you push a driver off track, almost causing them to crash at 300km/h, is that not worse?

again, I'm not pointing a finger at any driver being like "oh you're at fault more than others". this is not on the drivers. I want some braincells in the FIA. you can't have a square shape mold for what you give penalties for and forcefully squeeze ten different shapes into it.
