I am serious, ispano. Why the need to ask? Are you suggesting that I am... nevermind.
I had never seen the details of Billy Monger's crash. Now I have since you pointed it out and yes, it makes it clear that crashing onto a static car can neglect the presence of crash structures if the angle is just wrong. So point completely conceded and something learnt. Clearly leaving the car there is not the best plan.
I disagree on Bianchi, though, the problem there was precisely trying to remove the car. But irrelevant in any case in view of Monger's accident.
People shouldn't ask for rules changes just because their favorite driver and team was penalized ...
Are you serious? The furthest from a Hamilton or Mercedes fan here (hint: Asturias). I couldn't care less if Hamilton won or lost, on merit or by luck. It bothers me, though, that everyone seems to be categorized into pro or anti Hamilton, pro or anti Ferrari, etc. I (am many others here) just like the high speed chess games, the engineering marvels at work and the drivers doing the seemingly impossible with said marvels. Well, and asturian drivers, of course.
So you don't care about the safety of the drivers and marshals... I can't reason with that.

I said "People", not necessary "You". Don't take it so personally.
So you are a fan of Asturian drivers. Does that mean you are a fan of Spanish drivers Carlos Sainz Jr and Fernando Alonso? Your comment regarding leaving a stricken car on the side of the road being OK is just proof that you disagree with the protocol that was enacted for the safety of everyone, probably because Carlos lost to Pierre and HONDA? So maybe it wasn't your favorite team/driver that was penalized but one of your favorite drivers who didn't win.

I fully agree, a second cat going to the same spot was unlikely.
It bothers me more that people make irresponsible comments regarding safety protocols.
The crash before Jules should have been a safety car instead of yellow flags. A safety car would have prevented Jules from driving at dangerous speeds in those conditions. The problem wasn't trying to move the stricken car, the problem was cars were allowed to race with little discretion of yellow flags in conditions and in a location where a repeat ACTUALLY happened.
