that's part of the game, it wil never be completely fair unfortunately.

it's just so that nowadays, because they use safetycars and red flags all the time, you can cause an accident, damage your own car and get away with it. a few years ago this would have messed up lewis'es race just as bad as verstappens. the damage caused is in itself a big punishment and a big reason to stay out of collisions. if you can get away with it for free, there is much less more incentive to avoid it.


people often refer to drivers like schumacher or senna, but they would not have put their opponents in the wall at 300km/h. they were hard racers, but in their time such accidents could get them killed.
