Grosjean 1 race ban...

“The stewards regard this incident as an extremely serious breach of the regulations which had the potential to cause injury to others," said a statement released by the FIA. “It eliminated leading championship contenders from the race. "
WTF is this shit? Since when does the outcome of an action determine the punishment? Consistency is seriously lacking with the enforcement of the rules in F1, and this is just one more example.

He should have been punished the same way as any other similar incident. It should not matter if he takes out the entire field, 1 guy, or no one; If someone makes an illegal move they should get punished the same way everyone else has been in the past.

There have been countless similar moves that resulted in accidents and minor penalties, or in many cases no penalty at all. So simply because this one piled up he is banned for a race? He should have had a grid penalty and that's it.

It should not be a case of he squeezed the other guy off track but it's ok because he didn't crash or because he's not a title contender or because the guy conceded.
