Williams had a good old moan at the FIA about Sirotkin's penalty and anything else they could think of. FIA told them to jog on https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/135871/fia-throw...

I don't think Sirotkin deserved a grid penalty personally, and having watched the Magnussen vs. Gasly clash I think Williams raise a valid point. Magnussen's actions were very dangerous and he got a time penalty.

All power to Williams on this one IMO.

They should've left Alonso out of it though.

I don’t know. It seems the least of Williams’ problems at the moment, you’d think they’d have better things to do.

Maybe the team hit a remote engine kill switch at that point, to stop them from doing any more damage.
There are no pit to car controls.

I'm wondering (tin foil hat time) given maxes last few races a few havn't decided to collude to make an example of this and not let him get away with it, even if it means taking some pain themselves.
That's how I read the crash with DR. Danny was prepared to crash rather than let Max get away with weaving and blocking forever.
