minus-squareitsame@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·20 days agoAbsolutely. LeClerc was fined €5000 (+€5000 suspended) for using profanity outside the track. Profanities are now more severely punished than illegally driving on a track while stewards and a driver are walking around. Yesterday a team provisionally earned €30,000,000. A fine of €50,000 is a joke when compared to rewards like that. If touching a competitor’s car provides information that makes you win races, it is absolutely worth it.
