I think the biggest problem is that there are lots of grey areas in F1.
[LIST]
[*]If you cut a chicane when another driver is pursuing you, do you get a penalty?  What about if the other driver is alongside you, and you then don't get overtaken.
[*]Do you get a penalty for easing another driver off the circuit when they have an overlap on you going into a corner?

I know that most of this thread has been about Verstappen, but Verstappen's actions are just a step on from what many drivers have been doing for quite some time.  The idea that the car which is (marginally ahead) going into the corner can choose their racing line with no thought given to the other car seems to be one that has become embedded with many, but often, this leads to the other driver being pushed off the track.

Verstappen was (rightly) blamed for hitting Hamilton at Monza, but Hamilton was also to blame as he forced Verstappen off the track.  Personally, I'd have given them both penalties for the next race (Verstappen's bigger than Hamilton's).

In Saudi, Verstappen's moves were impetuousness, but either [I]all[/I] misdemeanors need to be penalised, or you let everything go.
