The current rules are just a complete and utter disaster. Instead of leaving a car's width, it's the car ahead at the apex that gets the corner.

The main problem is that there is no clear idea where exactly the apex is, and which line to draw from that apex. And then you get different rulings for similar actions. See for example Piastri, who got 5 seconds for forcing Gasly off track.

I hate the whole situation. The only way to overtake Verstappen is to not be near him, because he understands the rules best and uses them to his advantage. It's been like this for years and it's toxic for good racing.
