And another 10 for overtaking and gaining advantage. Howcome now it's 10 seconds, and not last week?

I don't think a penalty is undeserved, but I thought the first 10 seconds were 2 times 5 combined for both incidents or something. It seems very excessive at this point. They essentially killed the most interesting part of the race with this.

Because VER doesn't learn otherwise.

Learn what? He's not a robot, he does make mistakes sometimes. The real problem is the rules the FIA set up that leads to these kind of incidents. And they're being insanely inconsistent when punishing drivers. Also, Lando would've just taken back the position within a few laps anyway.

I think it should have been 5 seconds for the first incident and 10 for the second.

Cant believe this reasonable opinion has been downvoted so much
