And I I remember there was always a a famous line from former FIA president Max Mosley who said he would always love vague rules because then all the interpretation laid with the FIA and actually F one over time, kind of forced by the teams, has had to map everything out.
As John said, that allows a lot of lawyers to get very busy and very rich by picking apart.
There's lots of more smaller bits they can take issue with, whereas when there's a broad rule, they can kind of go, Well, we think it's this and the regulator goes, Nope, you're wrong, go away.
On penalties in general, all that stuff you said about oh, you take this penalty at your next pit stop, and if you don't have a pit stop, then you it gets added on at the end.
But then if you get a drive through you have to serve that with within three laps.
I've never liked this idea of delayed penalties.
Because I think if you if you if you commit an infringement and it's deemed penalty worthy, there should be a way that you are affected in that moment.
Because obviously Monaco is an extreme example because it's all about track position.
So if you can delay or avoid serving a penalty, you're definitely not going to want to do what some of those other guys had to do and drop yourself back into the queue, because then you're
race is over.
But we've seen it other races, haven't we, where if you know you're
This is why they had the whole issue around five seconds versus ten seconds for overtaking outside of track limits and that sort of thing, wasn't it?
Because you could take your five seconds, know that you've got ages until you'll pit stop and build up the buffer.
It's buying an advantage.
Exactly, which I I hate that.
I I I I've always felt that some sort of immediate if you're gonna go with smaller penalties, because I'd go for the minimum penalty is a drive-thru.
Like if you know, don't break the rules.
The punishment
Should be more severe than the crime, because it's meant to be a deterrent, not a rebalancing for what the offence was.
But if you're going to have these little penalties, you've got to find a way for them to be for the person who's got it to suffer the effects of that quickly.
