    Penalties are not dished out by the severity of the outcome though. They are given for the severity of the offense committed.

      They aren’t not applied by severity of outcome in the sense that you don’t get a harsher penalty if you take out the race leader vs a backmarker, but it does absolutely make a difference if you gained an advantage from the situation.

        right, especially on the opening lap where driving mistakes are often forgiven.

      penalties certainly are dished out based on advantages gained.
