Why is this move of Max more severe than Alonso and Sainz crashing into other cars at turn 1? Were there even penalties for them?
Edit: am I totally fine with this penalty... But why didn't the others get one?
not more severe, he just gained an advantage from it whereas Alonso and Sainz both fell to the back. I'm guessing if he gave the place back none of this would have happened.
Penalties are not dished out by the severity of the outcome though. They are given for the severity of the offense committed.
They aren't not applied by severity of outcome in the sense that you don't get a harsher penalty if you take out the race leader vs a backmarker, but it does absolutely make a difference if you gained an advantage from the situation.
right, especially on the opening lap where driving mistakes are often forgiven.
penalties certainly are dished out based on advantages gained.
