F1 should be harder on 'crazy' drivers

Former Formula 1 test driver Daniel Juncadella says F1 should use the stewards to control "crazy" and "aggressive" drivers.

Many have complained about the inconsistency of the FIA stewards' rulings, but Juncadella, who now races in DTM, thinks that inconsistency could have a role to play.

'He should be penalised'

"I think past actions should be remembered. Take Magnussen for example. I've already said on Twitter that he's crazy, all the way back to Formula 3. I think every time he does something even dubious, he should be penalised.

It's the same with Verstappen, who is super aggressive. There has to be a way to calm him down," the Spaniard told AS newspaper.

"Then you have Leclerc, who is not aggressive, so I think if he has a doubtful incident it is not necessary to always penalise him," he said.
