If Rosberg was too harsh F1 should ban overtaking
Amid so much talk about what people want Formula 1 to be, Nico Rosberg's penalty for his Malaysian GP move on Kimi Raikkonen basically amounts to an admission that hard racing is not welcome
Load gun. Aim at foot. Pull trigger. Formula 1 is very good at that process sometimes.
F1's fight to enhance the show is ongoing. So it could do without discouraging drivers from doing things that are quite interesting on track.
Moments of genuine inspiration are few and far between in the modern age of grand prix racing, so punishing a driver on a rare occasion they were pushing the boundaries seems rather arse-about-face.
