F1 drivers are playing the system. They've worked out they can exploit a penalty system that is no longer fit for purpose, so often we are seeing drivers deliberately commit offences that they know will only earn them a small penalty. And if the penalty is less than the gain they get from committing the offence - for example overtaking outside of track limits or pushing someone out of the way - then why wouldn't you take advantage of it? Glenn Freem and Scott Mitchell-Malm take a look at the problem and what F1 needs to do, with a little help from Edd Straw on his travels from Texas to the Mexican GP. 00:00 Drivers taking advantage 03:11 Where small penalties came from 05:16 Don't blame the drivers 06:43 Is there an easy fix? 09:04 Axe 5s penalties? 10:50 F1 is tied in knots Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts
