Deliberate crashing a la Schumi 1997 or fistfighting a la Nascar should indeed be so.

I'm not convinced that fines are appropriate in any circumstance. To me it seems like an excuse for extortion to line the FIA's pocket at the expense of a driver. Those offences you mention, and all the lesser ones we've been discussing, should be penalised with sporting penalties. Time penalties and grid drops for lesser offences. Exclusions and race bans for serious ones. Licence withdrawal for the most serious.
