I agree with this sentence. It's just a shame that the FIA have not taken similar approach with Maldonado for some of the stuff he has done throughout the year, however, maybe they are finally grasping on that this is the only way forward dealing with stupid drivers.

I agree, if anything I think Maldonaldo deserves the stronger punishment overall.

With Grosjean's incidents over the season, each one could be dismissed as a race incident (except for today) and you could argue he's just unlucky except for the fact that it always seems to be him involved.

With Maldonaldo there seems to be a hint of malevolence involved, a threat of "if you come near me I will take you off".

A race ban for the Venezuelan is long overdue IMO but today's punishment should focus the right minds on how they approach races. Its a start.
