I think his analysis on the Piastri, Antonelli, Leclerc incident is spot on. He explains why according to the rules it’s a penalty and then makes his argument why it shouldn’t have been a penalty. I think the guidelines should’ve been more lenient because now it sets a bad precedent. Instead of driving safe drivers are supposed to take the more dangerous route of playing chicken with the driver on the outside to make sure they’re either alongside or ahead at the apex.
I hate these current “guidelines”.
It’s just Verstappen-enabling-bowling-driving-bullshit.
They punish everybody except Verstappen (by comparison) every fuckin time.
Bring back the actual sensible previous rules, and have a range of penalties like 5s, 10s, drive through and stop-and-go.
Bring back fair and sensible driving on the edge, not the manic trash actions that are being favoured now.
Great analysis by Palmer!
