My argument is that Stroll and anyone else should be allowed to stick their elbows out in a duel for position. He took the long way round, but managed to get his car ahead before the point of collision. The collision happened as he was taking the racing line with half a car length ahead. Norris could have backed off to avoid a collision but decided to make it very difficult for Stroll. It was clearly a racing incident.
You’re the one that brought up money, buddy. Stroll should have given Norris more room, other drivers did it, similar moves and both got around successfully. The difference is the lack of space Stroll gave Norris, so yes, penalty was 100% deserved for Stroll.
