Albon: Five-second penalties "not teaching" F1 drivers anything
Red Bull driver Alexander Albon expressed his frustration with the lack of consequences for risky moves on the track, specifically referencing incidents involving Sergio Perez in consecutive races. Albon believes that the penalties handed out are not strict enough and do not teach the drivers anything. Perez had received five-second penalties for his collisions with Albon and Kevin Magnussen, but these penalties had little impact on his race results. Magnussen stated that Perez’s move ruined his race and that there should be a natural penalty for such actions. Haas team principal Guenther Steiner also voiced his frustration, noting that the retirement of Perez’s car did not serve as a sufficient consequence. GPDA director George Russell acknowledged that the issue should be reviewed, emphasizing the need to sometimes consider the consequences of an incident.
