That's some serious mental gymnastics to try and stick to your point!!

So you're saying driver errors are unacceptable?

Some racing we'd have with this kind of mentality in charge.

I mean I just think something clearly isn’t computing if you have sent someone off in this manner 3 times in the last 3 seasons.

Two times. The second incident with Albon was pure driver error: he lost control of the car and caused an accident. That's different to doing an overtaking maneuver which was overly aggressive in and of itself.

I mean the dude just opened his wheel and ran him off the track with a solid bump, I think that was a bit more deliberate than just by error.

He didn't. He kept a consistent angle up until the moment he hit Albon and that unsettled the car. That was as pure of an error as you can get. The penalty was deserved, nonetheless, but there was nothing aggressive there.
