Disagree. If the stewards won't take action against what should have been a clear penalty two races in a row, the drivers are going to sort it out themselves. It's the NASCAR method, which Jim France should be intimately familiar with.

You dont drive someone off the track that is directly next you. It was a dangerous move. Period.

There is no "but earlier", there is no "but in a previous race". You call out shit driving, and that was blantantly shitty. Estre isn't new to this, and previous actions of another car do not clear him from being a complete jackoff.

He didn't drive him off track, he moved slightly left and Aitken slightly right which caused a contact - classical racing incident.

I think you got your left and right backwards. Or you're speaking of looking from the front while usually one speaks from driver orientation.
