The only correct answer to the Max vs Norris incident, is that both of them should have been given a penalty.

You can't defend by just flying into the corner, not making it but making sure the person trying to overtake has to run off track so they don't crash.
I have to agree, but a solution is to add armco at all corners. If you are unwilling because it makes it unsafe for MotoGP then I am sure some other 'car damaging' solution can be found!

Just add fake gravel at T12 and problem solved.

Just add gravel or grass everywhere, all of these issues would go away like magic.

600mm of grass on the out side of all of the corners for me
Just a fan's point of view

Reducing the quality of racing isn’t a fix for the problem.

Here’s an interesting reddit post with all the rule changes instigated by Max’s behavior:

I will point out the driving off track from the 2021 brazil incident that clearly wasn’t applied here but is spot on applicable but stewards forgot it exists.
