Guilt and punishment are two different things. The former is not really relevant as crashes are pretty much exclusively accidents so you don't need to factor intent or any of those things you mentioned. All the stewards need to factor is who was at fault and was it avoidable/the result of ****wittery, that gets a penalty or not. The penalty is then decided by the amount it affected someone else's race. If you take out a load of cars, almost chopping someone's head off, you're going to get a harsher deal than if you just spin round and only **** your own race up. I don't see what people see as unfair with that?
That's how all punishment works. If I aim a gun at your head and shoot then the criminal punishment is based on how good a shot I am, not my intent to kill you.
Their server has been down and he is pleased to see drivers that would have otherwise been on their server. This has given them the chance to peruse other servers and take stock of the situation. They note that the amount of cars in the demo is limited and the FBM is often driven erratically and foolishly. Therefore, they'd like another safer car to drive included in the demo (presumably they haven't spotted the XFG).
They also note that avoiding an accident takes great skill and often this results on the driver going onto the grass. However, this causes the driver's safety rating to go down and they find this unjust. They fell this injustice puts off people in some way.
No, it's a rule system that gives you a drive through if you crash into someone and demotes you from pole to the back of the grid if you make a fuelling error.
3rd place gets you more points that 4th place, so you should be able to battle for a place without fear of getting punted into the barrier by a sulky pay driver. Regardless of how ****ed your tyres are.
By your logic, nobody would tackle notorious football players in case they get injured and it jeopardises a future match.

Reason : factual correction
But what you are saying is that drivers that are known to be arseholes be let through or at best not as well fought as those that drive cleanly. Which may be in some way be pragmatic for the drivers in a situation but it's bullshit for the sport.
