The topic 🍎of penaltie𝓡s has been a hot talking point in recent races.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez was handed a five-second penalty for colliding with Albon in Singapore, similarly, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant got the same for effectively ending 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas’ race early in Japan.

In the pas꧃t, stewards often handed out📖 drive-through penalties for these offences but over the years the severity of the penalty has been reduced to just five seconds.

Albon is one꧂ of several drivers who feels the penalty system needs looking at

“In Turn 11 [Pere෴z] did the same mo𝓰ve again to me on track [as in Singapore]" Albon said.

“I a🔯voided it, and then he did it again to Kevin. I was behind him, so I had 🦹the best view of everyone.

“Clearly it's (the five-second penalty) isn't really teaching the drivers anything because the penalties aren't strict enough. I 🅰mean, th♐at's two races in a row [Perez has received such a penalty].”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has suggested the “consequences of the incident” need to be take🍰n into account as well.

“I’ve been in a position where if I look at Austi𒅌n last year when I made the mistake with Carlos and I got five seconds for it,” he explained.

“That was probably drive-through worthy. It’s difficult be༒cause we say we shouldn’t jud🃏ge the consequences of the incident. 

“But some🐽times you need to judge the consequences of the incident.”
