MODERATORS
Could very well be targeted at premeditated offences, where team and driver evaluate what's cheaper. Not breaking the rules and not gaining a certain advantage โ or breaking the rules, gaining an advantage and paying a (small) fine, as the the advantage is worth more than the penalty costs.
This equation changes a lot with a 1m Euros maximum fine and maybe prevents decisions to break rules.
I agree. I don't think this change is a bad move. Assuming this fine is only issued in truly the most extreme cases of infringement, and not cases of wearing wearing jewelry or making social media posts.
Having a major disincentive like this will definitely make rule breaking more risky.
In what cases has the previous maximum fine even been issued?
