The fact that you can get fined €50k for touching a rear wing (Max 2021), yet only €25k for telling your driver to drive around with it hanging on by a thread solely to tamper with safety car timing to the benefit of your other driver is absolute insanity to me.

What an absolutely ludicrously small fine for purposefully jeopardising the safety of other drivers to benefit your star driver.

I'm not even that angry at red bull. If cheating only gets slaps on the wrists like this then they'd be morons not to do it. There were bigger threats from the FIA over Hamilton's fucking nose stud, FFS.
