    Of course, Le Mans this year is an excellent example. Surely, as I originally referred to, a halfway house solution whereby 'being in the way on an empty track' won't be tolerated vs. leniency when backmarkers are racing each other.

    There's already a rule against blocking. So long as that was consistently enforced I don't foresee a problem.

    Seems like a thoroughly unpleasant bloke who has learned nothing from hitting Lewis in Spa, presumably because he wasn't punished properly for it.

    Other than because it was Lewis hitting him in Spa, is there any other reason why Maldonado should have been punished for it?
