Utterly disgraceful.

I saw the clip on Instagram and a lady commented saying how she might not feel safe to be sat in the crowd because somebody might appose to her wearing her Mclaren merch.

F1 shouldn’t be like this. It was never like that 10+ years ago but thanks to DTS unfortunately the ‘football fans’ have joined us in the stands.
Last time I went to Silverstone in ‘22 I had the delight to witness a woman kindly asking a man who was wearing his Red Bull merchandise to go home because he was embarrassing himself in front of his infant son.
Ridiculous.
Absolutely pathetic. Come on fans. There are children present for god sakes. wtf is the matter with people.
Watching F1 since 1986.

Can someone explain to me why Norris didn't get penalty points on his SuperLicense ? In the recent past, IIRC, the people who have received penalty points for 'causing a collision' or 'pushing someone off track' :
- Verstappen
- Piastri
- Doohan
- Lawson
- Stroll
- Sainz

Is it because they all have the wrong passport ? Because people like Russel & Norris, have been 'not in control' and banged against other cars as well, but they have never been penalized on their licence. Norris got penalty for the Qatar 2024 blink-n-miss yellow flag, but other than that, yesterday's clunk was a clear case for Norris. So was Russel's bang into Verstappen in T1 Barcelona, when he braked too late and understeered after the SC restart. No license points in that case as well.

Why ? The whole system is more corrupt than warlord-ruled banana republics.

I can’t remember specifics but I do remember Brundle (or another of the Sky SMEs)
remarking that team mate on team mate altercations tend to be viewed more sympathetically by the stewards.

I think the reasoning being that the teams will sort out those situations internally and the penalty for the team/driver is already high enough.

That isn't correct. For example:
.
Nico Rosberg keeps fourth in Austrian GP despite penalty for Lewis Hamilton crash

Rosberg handed 10s penalty and two penalty points after collision with Hamilton; Stewards' decision doesn't affect race result
