Debate: It is ridiculous that Leclerc and Stroll get away with a reprimand

It was an extraordinary final few minutes of the third free practice session. You fell from one surprise to another due to the actions of the drivers on the track. It started with Lance Stroll, who was not happy with an action by Lewis Hamilton. The Briton hindered Stroll on a fast lap, after which Hamilton pulled over and apologised. However, that was not enough for Stroll. In fact, the latter was so angry that he steered into Hamilton.

What was the penalty for Stroll and Leclerc?

Stroll was not the only one to get away with a reprimand. Charles Leclerc had to go to the stewards for the same offence, but Leclerc also got away with a reprimand after the incident with Lando Norris. While Stroll's action was still at low speed, Leclerc crossed in front of Norris at high speed.

Whereas Sebastian Vettel once received a hefty penalty for the same incident in Azerbaijan, Leclerc and Stroll got away with it. A bad example for other drivers and racing classes, where drivers will now also know that you can get away with such an action.

In addition, the contrast was great with the situation of Logan Sargeant. After all, he did receive a hefty penalty for obstructing Lance Stroll in qualifying. Unlike Leclerc and Stroll, however, Sargeant did not drive at his rival. Sargeant drove in the way but was also not properly informed by the team. Stroll did not suffer either, as the Canadian simply got through to Q2.
