I'd prefer a blanket big penalty (e.g. stop & go) for unsafe release applied every single time it happens. It needs to be a significantly bigger penalty than the potential gain that can be made, to ensure teams don't do it.
Amazingly, Helmut Marko is accusing the Monaco race stewards of favouritism for giving Max a penalty at all. You couldn’t make this shit up.
After that it was Verstappen’s decision to steer into Bottas - twice - in a cramped pit lane teeming with mechanics. That merits considerably more than a 5 second penalty in my book.
I don't blame Max for the unsafe release, but given he drove Bottas into the wall while alongside him he shouldn't get away unscathed either.
If the teams need to change something to be able to judge whether it's safe then they need to act on it and introduce a camera for the guy with the light controller, or whatever. But that doesn't excuse it this time.

But Ford have excellent liveries for LeMans, based on all the previous winners. Just a shame the Gulf-ish one isn't quite orange enough.
The GT Pro battles in WEC this year have been fantastic, some of my favourite racing of any formula.
