FIA should cancel the penalty against the Ferrari. Although I am not a fan of Ferrari, it is unfair to put a 10 place grid penalty on that team when it is an obstacle on the track, an external factor, which Ferrari cannot control.

How the heck does the top level of motorsport not put more effort into addressing safety issues on a track to ensure that all drivers are safe?

This incident is an embarrassment to F1. Turning the Vegas Grand Prix into Mario Kart.

Do track marshals not do a track walk to identify any track obstacles?



FIA should cancel the penalty. There needs to be changes to the rulebook. External factors such as loose drains, other track obstacles that damage a car should not result in grid penalties for all teams in future races.

It cost a fortune to repair the damages to Ferrari's car.
