Leclerc penalised 5 seconds for hitting Verstappen and ten seconds for driving around with a damaged wing.

Ferrari international assistance is back (did it ever go away?)

I dont get it, Kimi jumps start in Russia and he gets the penalty, Vettel same mistake no penalty.
This is not same like Bottas Austria 2017. The austrian commentators grabbed the f1 rule book during race and its clearly says and its written no car should move before the lights are not out. Simple. Did Vettel move, yes he did...

36.13 Either of the penalties under Articles 38.3c) or d) will be imposed on any driver who is judged
to have :
a) Moved before the start signal is given, such judgement being made by an FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted to each car, or ;
b) Positioned his car on the starting grid in such a way that the transponder is unable to detect the moment at which the car first moved from its grid position after the startsignal is given.

Message from race control: Jump the start, knock other drivers out the way and shower the track and other cars in debris, we'll let you off comparatively

Vettel should've got a drive through and Leclerc should at least be getting a grid penalty for the next race for such dangerous behaviour

What's the point in going to the extremes in safety with the halo and other devices when the rules don't punish drivers for driving in a dangerous manner?
It's like giving with one hand and taking with the other

About Leclerc's damaged car: No question it was dangerous to have that car racing around in such condition - it damaged Lewis' car and Sainz had to detour from debris. But I think race direction could have done a better job here - Black and orange flag exists for such situations and there was more than enough evidence Leclerc should have his car taken to the pits. If we want safety, we can't leave teams and drivers to be the ones assessing if the car is in condition to race after a contact.

If anything that shows how 130R basically isn't even a corner any more.

There is absolutely NO argument against him being DQ'ed from the race and possibly even slapped with a race ban.
And everyone that thinks I'm overreacting is a fucking hypocrite because everyone and their sister would literally be calling for his head if the piece did (gravely) injure Hamilton or another driver.

There shouldnt be a difference in punishment. Willingly endangering other drivers and marchal's should be punished hard. With or without serious injuries as a result.

Fair enough if they messed it up during the race, but the FIA should at least give this the seriousness it deserves and make a strong statement about these situations for the future. They punish people for "avoidable" racing collisions, and here we had a completely avoidable situation where the top driver in the field almost got a sharp piece of carbon into his visor, all for everyone to see in super slowmo. It's crazy how casual the FIA is being about this. The message is to stay out, as it will cost 15 seconds less than a 25-second pitstop with a wing change. We've seen more drama from the officials towards Vettel for his tantrum at Baku 2017.

Setting the human aspect of it aside: had Lewis been hurt badly, through the oh-so-promoted HALO, by a car that was never instructed to stop by the officials, it would've been a blow to F1's popularity of similar proportions to Imola 1994.

I feel that F1's disciplinary strategy is often misplaced. It is leaning more towards ass-licking the teams, and self ass-covering under the guise of safety theater measures (HALO, VSC), but not towards respect for human life as such. It's weird.
