I think the general discourse on this event has been pretty silly. The arguments like "this just means you can do _____ every single time and never lose a position" just aren't realistic.

You can get away with borderline driving once, maybe twice, but the stewards definitely factor a cumulative effect into their decisions. With DRS, I think the benefit of the doubt should go to the defending driver.

I think they should be a lot faster to give a black/white flag for driving standards warning - though it should also be understood that this does not necessarily preclude a penalty from that same event. I suppose 'incident noted' sort of implies this, but I think they could improve the process
