I feel much the same. Not raising the flag or playing the anthem on the podium I could understand, after all that might drag political views into the picture. But the drivers should not face such strict penalties. They can't change where they were born or live on a moments notice, and they don't start wars.
I personally think that the political and social justice things in F1 currently shouldn't be. If the drivers want to make a statement of stand, let them do it on their own free time. I wouldn't oppose some small symbol of support on a car or drivers uniform, but all of it has opened the gates to what is considered "the norm" within motorsports IMHO.
It was a good choice IMHO. I'm sure they don't have wads of money, and Keven already has familiarity with the team. Though he isn't a top rated driver, his background with the team might help with development and communication issues. They don't have much time to find the replacement either, so that factors in.

The FIA have announced that there will not be a replacement for the Russian GP this season, reducing the number of races this year to 22.
I am a bit surprised no organizer wanted to step in; it would have been nice to see Portimao back on the schedule, for instance.Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.
