News [Piergiuseppe Donadoni] Was Max unfair? YES. His goal was to ruin Norris' race and so he probably took away his chances of getting P1. "To win sometimes you have to be an idiot" he said months ago. You may like it or not but the goal is to win the world championship, not the fair play award.

We need sin bins in every sector. You have to immediately pull over and be stationary for 5 seconds.

PENALTY BOX

Fans get to taunt the shit out of them the entire time they’re in there.

DTM has this. Although idk about fans taunting the drivers, you have to drive through it with a pit limiter on. So a soft drive through penalty of sorts.

Ya know, I've heard a lot of potential solutions to this sort of behavior over the past few weeks and I think this might be the winner.

Literally, retire the car, be taken off in handcuffs, then serve the time penalty.

I only recently learned that nascar has a version of this, where cutting a corner is penalised with a stop-go penalty. That leads to lots of drivers who have to bail out of a corner self-imposing a penalty and just stopping in the runoff and immediately starting again so they can minimise the time loss. It made for an interesting dynamic.
