Putting the best interests of the team at the forefront starts with picking a driver who will do the same .
Egos too big will too often disrupt the balance , and before this , a team could easily mitigate this issue with no protest over a team mate clash .
Now , with potential to be held responsible in all incidents , not just ones with other teams , drivers will be pressured more to behave better with their team mates .
And , sure , stewarding can be dreadfully inconsistent , but , if at least all the incidents that they see can be investigated , then it at least has a chance to be fair .
In that Canadian GP example , it could have changed the scenario completely , had Lewis been handed a penalty .
But , by the same token , he's not stupid , and would likely know his chances of getting any penalty would be greatly reduced whilst fighting his team mate , so the risk was worth the personal reward , even if the team suffers as a result .
But , not now .

I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy
