I just don’t understand why it’s seemingly always either RUS or SAI for these infractions 😂

+3 places for George
The only way he escapes that is if they do their "Leclerc went through anyway".

Lewis blaming other drivers for hitting his front wing when he drove into the back of them? Strange logic.

If they did then I would expect the same consistency in terms of penalties. Sadly a lot of it is conjecture from “fans”. I was only trying to be objective here

DOn't you remember a couple of races back, Max blocked twice and got away with it, as the other team never got invited to a meeting.

Can’t remember as I tend not to follow VER. But if he did then I would assume there were other mitigating circumstances and not a direct FIA order to protect him. Seems a bit laughable. Consistency in penalties has been my biggest bug bear for a long time

Doesn't matter if you are blocking someone, hence why he might be in trouble for the maximum lap time.

Max seemed to go out of track on his first run, but not said anything
