'So it's better sometimes to stay behind because they are just promoting only DRS overtaking...'
Although supportive of F1’s penalty points system stamping out dangerous driving, Fernando Alonso says somewhere along the way the stewards have begun to mistake “racing mistakes for dangerous driving”.was handed two penalty points as well as a 10-second penalty for causing a collision with Zhou Guanyu at Turn 3 in the Grand Prix.While he agrees he “deserved” the time penalty, the Spaniard feels the penalty points were unjust as it was a mistake, not dangerous driving.
“I think when penalty points were introduced, it was to avoid dangerous drivers to keep accumulating penalties without a race ban,” Alonso told media including PlanetF1.com.“I think now we are mistaking racing mistakes for dangerous driving. “So it’s better sometimes to stay behind because they are just promoting only DRS overtaking because you cannot make an attempt to pass anyone because it’s going to be penalty points for one of the two drivers.Penalty points were introduced in 2014, the decision made in the wake of Romain Grosjean one-race ban and €50,000 fine for triggering the Belgian Grand Prix start crash.“We try to prevent dangerous drivers taking penalties every two or three weekends and putting people in danger,” he said.
