Thoughts on the 5 second time penalty for Max Verstappen?
Can't help they were incredibly lenient and now in future unsafe releases that will be the particular hill all teams will fight their battle on. A stupid decision by the stewards in my opinion.
Definitely an unsafe release.
Arguably destroyed Bottas' race.
Cost Verstappen a podium too so I don't know if it's too harsh.
See a lot of noobs arguing the team should have got the penalty, not Max.
They deserved a penalty one way or the other and there's probably an argument to be made that he should have got a drive through,
Max's mentality doesn't lend itself to having to negotiate tight circuits with other cars. Could have easily have taken out both Mercs.
