Slam on the brakes and stay dangerously close to a wrecked car throwing debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Quickly pass him and then settle down after the red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He chose safety. He passed. And what did he get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A 10-place penalty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So basically, F1 is saying\u2014\u201cNext time there&#8217;s a crash, brake hard and sit there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let debris fly into your face, but dare you not overtake!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was beyond harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, it was hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when the stewards aren\u2019t sure what penalty to give?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They just slap you with a fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good chunk of money gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where does it go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe into a mystery \u201covertaking fund.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Because yes, in F1 now, you\u2019re on track doing 300 km\/h, but it\u2019s your radio messages that determine if you\u2019re getting a yellow card, a fine, or an empty wallet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drivers are left with two choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.

Play it safe. Stay invisible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use as little track time as possible.
