Racers to change the PENALTY POINT system

The double penalty for Lewis Hamilton as part of the racing end of the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi obviously did not only upset the fans.

The current world champion is v Sochi received two sentences after five secondsbecause he practiced starting in the wrong place. And at first he received it for doing so as well penalty points, which were later withdrawn, but nevertheless led to heated debates.

"I mentioned this at a race meeting,”He explained Daniil Kvyat, team racer Alpha Tauri. "I think that this matter will have to be changed or reworked a bit. If you receive penalty points, for, say, a dangerous collision with another racer or a really dangerous maneuver, then that is justified. However, offenses related to the Blue Flag or similar nonsense… I don’t think there really is a need to receive penalty points because of this. This is not a taxi stand. We need to be able to always race at the limit. Therefore, this system needs to be at least slightly redesigned,He added Rus.

Lando Norris believes and hopes that race commissioners now have a better understanding of what deserves penalty points and what doesn’t. This will be shown in future races, the young Briton adds.

His teammate Pierre Gasly agrees: “I believe that in Formula 1 we all respect each other. Sometimes you come across another racer, but that’s part of motorsport. But in the end, respect is always present. I think we are old enough and mature enough to talk about these things.“Young Lando Norris, team racer McLaren, is confident that the debate will bear fruit. “I think the Commissioners now have a better understanding of what deserves penalty points and what doesn’t. I believe it has been clarified a bit more, but we will see this in the future when the racers will receive penalty points again."
