They need to overhaul the penalty system! Magnusson can force a car off the road almost causing an accident and remain in the lead through dangerous driving and only get a 5 second penalty. It isn't sufficient! He should have been given a drive through penalty as he impeded the progress of a faster driver who was kept behind by his bad driving. He later went on to cause a crash so if the penalties were harsher he might be forced to improve his driving.

When did this penalty "whistle" culture begin in F1? What did we do before?

I suppose it started in the 90s with the automatic jump start and speeding penalties, but at least with those it's an absolute offence and punishment.

I think the driving penalties these days are a farce and cheapen the show.

The Legends races today were manic weren't they. Hope you avoided the beetroot look of a few of those I saw round the circuit.

The Legends were a bit bonkers. The Porsche race at the end was a bit of a bonus.

I hadn’t been for a long while and really enjoyed the day.

I managed to slather enough lotion on to stop frying but I did end up buying a baseball cap later in the afternoon! ( forgot mine)
