::I respect your point of view, and when this discussion originated on 8th April I would have tended to agree with you. However today this is now being mentioned by multiple expert sources. The opinion of F1 driver Pastor Maldonado is "The rules are the same for everyone, so you need to avoid incidents ... But at the same time [the threat of penalties means] you cannot race, you need to only stay on track and wait for problems." (original article is behind paywall on Autosport). This issue was also discussed and recognized by expert commentators during Sky Sports F1 Chinese GP Free Practice 1. I will be adding this section back to the article with appropriate references.
