I find that interesting. In my eyes, Jaafar did nothing wrong (Sorensen claiming "he should've moved with me" is plain stupid in my view. It wouldn't have happened if Sorensen had never moved). However, he definitely paid the price for his error. The memory of sliding down the Monza start/finish straight upside down with fluid everywhere and cars going by will probably leave a bigger mark of Sorensen's race craft than the 5 place grid penalty.
