“These are the best drivers in the world, they have the best judgement and the best awareness, so if you're making an overtake into Turn 1, but you completely go off track then it’s a ten-second penalty, but a five-second penalty was applied and I’m not a fan of this.

Red Bull have reportedly decided against formally appealing the penalty Max Verstappen received at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Pole-sitter Verstappen was penalised five seconds for leaving the track and gaining an advantage at the start of the race in a duel with eventual race winner Oscar Piastri.
