Agreed.

To be clear, it was intentional contact, which is different from contact.

Any intentional driving into other cars, in my opinion, should be Zero tolerance.

These guys are the pinacle and the example for other young drivers.

Personally I prefer to win on merit but there should be a penalty to both Stroll and Leclerc here as they intentionally caused a contact that could result in damage.

In the 70s and 80s we could have had injuries with stunts like these.

Nothing unexpected. Some people will claim the moral highground now because of this decision but that's irrelevant. They would be very wrong.

Anyway, let's move on to quali now. Better beat them on track.

"Both card made a contact which was incidental" In my opinion this is not valid for car no 16 hitting on purpose car no 4.
But as also Emag said, we can move on, and Lando has the opportunity "to hit back" on 10 minutes quali with a pole :D

They'll say the same for norris-leclerc in my opinion. Not expecting anything but a reprimand now

Really thought stroll would be penalised

Oh well. Typical mediocre stewards. Let's go get pole. We need perfect laps on the new soft tyres.

Decision is out for Leclerc too now, only a reprimand incredibly enough.

I guess it's perfectly normal to brake check and turn into drivers out of rage in track.

really bad, they totally accepted he "misjudged" his position when he clearly, obviously deliberately hit him

I'm fine with the reprimand but once again - they are policing results not the actions. If there was more damage or a crash, surely they would have penalized them properly.

But I think the car looks great here, I am quite optimistic.
