Thank you for your explanation. I see what you mean, but I have a different opinion. I think that we shouldn't castrate motorsport in such way and make it even more boring than it is now. Have a look at some other sports disciplines:

Have John McEnroe's constant rants at referees reduced the number of tennis viewers? People still watch them, even 30 years later.

Has the famous Eric Cantona's kung fu kick reduced the number of football fans?

Did Zidane's headbutt attack stop football from being the most popular sport discipline in the world? As far as I know it is more popular than ever.

All the above mentioned sportsmen did much worse things than Ostberg and they didn't get kicked from TV broadcasts.
I think that a fine of 1000E is OK, but suspending 25 points seems to much. Just my opinion.
