I respect your opinion, but I disagree on that.
If [random driver 1] does exactly this on [random driver 2], then IMO the judgement should be exactly the same
* if it was [random driver 1]'s home track
* if it was [random driver 2]'s home track
* it it was both drivers' home track
* if it was neither driver's home track
* if [random driver 1] was in the championship fight and the other wasn't
* if [random driver 2] was in the championship fight and the other wasn't
* if both were in the championship fight and the other wasn't
* if none were in the championship fight and the other wasn't
I think an action should be judged regardless of nationality and regardless of championship position.
An action is either right or wrong.
Hamilton doing it, or Ericsson (just picking a random name) doing it should get the same treatment.
But that's just my opinion.
