Race control should limited penalties to clear breaches of safety (eg speeding in pit lane or jumped starts) and not try to apply a penalty system that treats motor sport as some kind of ball sport where penalties can be apportioned should competitors come into contact.

Motor sport does not need referees or umpires to provide a safe and enjoyable sport for competitors, spectators and TV viewers.

I'd love to see this for say 5 or 6 rounds and see where we are, and what the racing looks like by that last round.
