    Or just use a percentage system based on team budget. Or better yet make it a point system, 10 infractions a year and you’re suspended. Bet that would force teams to reel their drivers in

    I have very little idea about the salary of everyone on the grid, but according to a random article I found on the internet:

    Max Verstappen - $55,000,000
    Lewis Hamilton - $35,000,000
    Charles Leclerc - $24,000,000

    Oscar Piastri - $2,000,000
    Yuki Tsunoda - $1,000,000
    Logan Sergeant - $1,000,000


    And this doesn’t even include sponsorships, of which Max and Lewis have significantly more than Yuki and Logan, it seems crazy to me that a single fine can be a driver’s whole salary for the entire season. It’s just running into the same problem that speeding tickets have for regular people: the same ticket could mean not making rent for one person, and be pocket change for someone else.
