F1 drivers call on FIA for consistency amid impeding incidents
The reaction to the incidents involving Max Verstappen at the Japanese Grand Prix has been mixed. Verstappen received reprimands for three separate cases of alleged impeding, but no grid drop. Lando Norris believes Verstappen should have been penalized for blocking Yuki Tsunoda. He calls for harsher penalties for blocking, as it ruins laps and qualifying for other drivers. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc express some surprise and suggest the need for further discussions with the FIA to ensure consistency and improvement. Meanwhile, Sergio Perez received a five-second time penalty for colliding with Alex Albon, resulting in Albon losing points.
