For mine, they've penalised the outcome, not the action. Which sets a dangerous precedence.

For me, this first point matches with my thoughts too. Whilst I can understand how Alonso's actions
may have contributed to Russell's car being destablised; but Russell does have an issue of being involved in incidents due to over-reacting and crashing basically on his own.
I think we could look at Singapore last year, Imola 21' and Imola 20' (under safety car) as other examples. I wonder how many of the other 19 drivers would have crashed under the same circumstances?
