Such a slap in the face too when it forces a DNF as well. Like "hey we know that guy forced you to retire, but don't worry we gave him a 5 second penalty!".
Feel like for incidents where one or both parties end up being out of the race because of it, any penalties applied should be a grid drop for the next race. In race penalties seem meaningless when the aggrieved can't benefit from it.
I was expecting a bigger penalty because the contact was absolutely egregious. He was completely off the track and didn't make any attempt to slow down to rejoin.

Coming back on track at that angle and speed and thus taking out gasly was some real bs. When stroll is bad, he's really aggravatingly bad.

5 seconds is such a nothing penalty, which makes it more annoying.

Why not both - 5s for leaving the white lines , grid drop for making another driver retire

That almost looked intentional. I find it somewhat hard to believe that absolutely no other path crossed Stroll's mind. Fucking yikes.

Would be nice if they gave him a penalty point, but I doubt they will.
When your negligence/incompetence causes an opponent to retire, a 5 serving penalty doesn't seem fair.

I believe he got 2 penalty points

He doesn't deserve his seat anyway, but racing like this just proves he shouldn't be in f1.

Should have to pay for the damage too.
