Become quite the bad boy has dear Mario
I think he should appeal on the grounds that no one knows what 'avouidable contact' is! Quote:

Considering that he has taken potential winning cars out of two races now, it only seems to me to be the right thing to do.
Hopefully this will help him to keep his nose clean. |

In the old days a driver received probation, but not necessarly point penalties. Dominguez obviously messed up, but he didn't appear to be doing anything overly crazy. I'm not sure that this move makes sense.

Well, considering that:
-He took cars out in Long Beach. -He took cars out in Milwaukee. -He is quite experienced and none of the rookies crashed against anyone else in Milwaukee like he did. I think the penalty is deserved. |

And I can remember in 2000 Oriol was docked 4 points and fined when he took out Tracy at Surfers Paradise. In that case, it was Oriol's first offence, so I think Mario's penalty this time is right.
