MODERATORS
There were some calls for harsher penalty after his previous attempt at this tactics in Saudia Arabian GP.
Albon said as much as:
“The other one was a bit cheeky, the other 10-second one with Yuki. I mean, you basically guarantee your teammate points for a 10-second penalty. Why wouldn’t you do that everywhere? I don’t think five to 10 seconds is correct. I think it needs to be you must return the position back, and just leave it like that.

Yes, this in particular is something they need to bring the hammer down on now before others see this as a valid strategy. After the first 10s penalty he was out of the points and obviously consciously decided that if he was out any way, more penalities wouldn't sting as much as his team bringing home another zero point weekend.
It was egregious and unsportsmanlike. And I say this as someone who generally likes KMag.
