      Accelerating under red flag is something that they need to punish harshly

        I don’t disagree with the penalty. I’m just stunned by seeing someone being awarded 4 penalty points. Don’t recall the last time that happened.

        Edit: Apparently this is the first time an F1 driver has been awarded 4 penalty points for a single offense, according to RaceFans. Mazepin was awarded 4 penalty points back when he was in F2.

    Accelerate into another car while no red flag=2 points. Accelerate into inanimate object under red flag=4. From a “safety first” aspect, I feel like one guy got off light. Can’t say why. /s
