    That is why we normally have penalty's for those things. To stop drivers from being to overly agressive. Because most of them are the agressive winners type. If we just let them we would see many more accidents.

    And the lack of a meaningfull penalty here is why we will have more accidents between hamilton and verstappen in the future. Why should you back off if you can just put your opponent in the wall without consequences?

    Verstappen is perhaps been the driver who has the most fearsome reputation, crashing many many times into almost everyone. Doing stupid and dangerous things almost every race in his first years.

    He has improved a lot over the years, but i'm sure he will take notice here. I expect to see him being more aggressive and causing more accidents.
    That would be very bad news to Redbull in this budget cap regime. They are already using up a bit of their development token to fix that crashed car. Commonsense would say tone down the aggression.
